 The Indians are an AL-best 14-6 (.700) in June, and are now a season-high seven games above .500. Cleveland has either won or tied its last six series, the second-longest active such streak in the majors behind the Rangers (8).

 The Royals are 5-3 over their last eight games, including a four-game series split against the first-place Twins. Over this eight-game stretch, Kansas City is batting .360 with runners in scoring position, with 36 RBI in 84 plate appearances.

 Kansas City swept Cleveland in three games in the first series of the season between these teams in April. The last time that the Royals won their first four games in a season against the Indians was in 2003.

 Hunter Dozier has a home run and five runs driven in over three games since returning from the IL. This season, the Royals have averaged 4.5 runs per game with Dozier in the lineup, compared to 3.7 runs per game without Dozier in the lineup.

 Carlos Santana leads Cleveland in home runs (17), RBI (47), walks (56) and hits (79) this season. The only other American Leaguer to lead his team in all four of those categories this season is Mike Trout.

 Jason Kipnis is batting .500 (10-for-20) with two home runs and 10 RBI over his last six games. During this stretch of play, Kipnis has raised his season batting average from .213 to .240 and his slugging percentage from .318 to .369.
