 Kansas City has lost its home series with Texas in each season dating back to 2015 -- this four-series losing streak is the Royals' longest active home-series losing streak against any opponent. Kansas City has averaged 2.25 runs at home against Texas over this span.

 Texas was swept in a four-game set with Houston and was outscored 33-11 in the series. The Rangers have allowed 26 runs over their last two games -- only once has a team allowed more over a two-game span this season (Mariners, 29).

 Kansas City scored five runs in its win over Philadelphia and then scored one total run in its two losses in the series. The Royals are scoring 7.50 runs per game in wins this season and 3.00 in losses, the fourth-largest difference in MLB (+4.50) -- the Rangers (+5.93) have the largest such split in MLB.

 Elvis Andrus hit his sixth home run of the season last time out, matching his total from last season. It was his 16th multi-hit game of the season, tying him with Rafael Devers for second most in the AL (Michael Brantley, 20). His .327 batting average ranks fourth among AL qualifiers in 2019.

 Alex Gordon went 5-for-12 in the series against Philadelphia, and he drove in four of the Royals' six runs scored in the series. Gordon is averaging an RBI per 4.58 at-bats this season, sixth among qualifying American League hitters.

 Hunter Pence has 12 RBI this month, tied for sixth in MLB, and his 1.464 OPS in May leads MLB (minimum 25 PA). Of his eight hits in the month, three are doubles and four are home runs. He has scored 19 runs in 26 games this season, the same number he scored in 97 games with the Giants last season.
