 The Royals were swept in three games against the White Sox in their last series -- all three games were decided by a single run. Kansas City is an MLB-worst 4-12 this season in games decided by one run.

 The Rangers won two of three in Seattle in their most recent series, and are 10-4 over their last 14 games. Texas currently has a 27-26 record -- the team has been within one game of .500 for 40 days this season, the most of any team in the majors.

 Texas won two out three games when these teams met in May in Kansas City, winning the rubber game of the series, 16-1. The Rangers have won 10 of their last 12 home games against the Royals dating back to the 2016 season.

 The Royals have four players this season with at least 25 extra-base hits: Whit Merrifield (28), Hunter Dozier (26), Jorge Soler (26) and Adalberto Mondesi (25). The only other teams in the majors with four players with 25+ extra-base hits this season are the Astros and the Twins.

 Over his last 10 starts, Mike Minor has a 1.91 ERA while striking out 9.41 batters per nine innings. The only other Ranger all-time to have a sub- 2.00 ERA and a 9.0+ K/9 IP over any 10-start span within a single season was Bobby Witt, late in the 1990 season.

 In 39 career games with the Rangers, Hunter Pence has 86 total bases. Only three players in franchise history have begun their Rangers career with more total bases in their first 39 games with the team: Alex Rodriguez (99), Josh Hamilton (90) and Rod Barajas (88).

HP - Hamari, 1B - Blakney, 2B - Tichenor, 3B - Hallion

The Kansas City Royals routinely have found themselves under the thumb of the Texas Rangers since the start of the 2016 season.
After losing 19 of 24 such encounters prior to this series, the Royals will bid to win the first two contests of the four-game set on Friday when the clubs reconvene in Arlington, Texas.

Royals seek second straight win over Rangers

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP)  Joey Gallo stood in center field trying not to beat himself up after misplaying two fly balls into triples as he and the Texas Rangers trailed the Kansas City Royals by two runs going into the sixth inning.
Soon enough, Gallo took out his frustrations on the baseball.
