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).

HP - Gonzalez, 1B - Iassogna, 2B - Holbrook, 3B - Wolf

Sometimes mediocre is good enough.
The Boston Red Sox stand two games above .500 following their 8-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday night. That puts them just percentage points behind the Texas Rangers for the final wild-card spot in the American League heading into a Wednesday contest in Kansas City.

Red Sox, Sale look to keep climbing standings

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)  Chris Sale strode to the dugout after the seventh inning Wednesday night, and Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora asked his lanky left-hander whether he could keep going on a hot, humid night in Kansas City.
''I'll finish this off,''' Sale replied.
