The Red Sox beat the Yankees in their series finale on Sunday to avoid a sweep in New York. Boston has gone 3-6 since May 24 despite only being outscored 49-48 in that span.

The Royals have lost nine of their last 11 games overall and four of their last five at home. Kansas City has gone 7-0 at home this season when scoring at least seven runs while it has gone 4-17 when scoring six or fewer runs at home.

Boston went 5-1 against Kansas City last season, winning all three games at Kaufmann Stadium. The Red Sox picked up 80 hits across the three games, the most against the Royals by a non-divisional opponent in 2018.

Xander Bogaerts has picked up at least two hits in five of his last six games. Bogaerts entered May slashing .271/.358/.467 -- his slash line now stands at .305/.386/.550. His .628 slugging percentage since May 1 ranks third among American League hitters with at least 100 plate appearances since that date.

Eduardo Rodriguez has a 6.53 ERA on the road this season, but allowed only one run over 6.0 innings in his last away start in Houston. Rodriguez has allowed a .524 slugging percentage away from home compared to a .319 mark at home.

Glenn Sparkman has made two starts this season -- in his first, he tossed seven scoreless innings against the Rays while he was ejected from his most recent start for hitting Tim Anderson in the second inning. Sparkman has a 2.50 ERA in six appearances at home this season (8.22 in four road appearances).

With all eyes in baseball on the draft on Monday, the Red Sox and Royals enjoyed an off day before starting a three-game series in Kansas City on Tuesday in their first matchup this season.
Boston will send left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez (5-3, 5.04 ERA) to the mound, while the Royals will go with right-hander Glenn Sparkman (1-1, 4.21).

Red Sox pay visit to slumping Royals

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)  Alex Cora kept watching the Red Sox hammer pitches right at the Kansas City Royals during the first few innings Tuesday night, and the Boston skipper was confident that eventually some of them would find their way through.
Eduardo Nunez finally solved the problem by depositing a pitch over the fence.
