 Cleveland avoided a series sweep at the hands of the Orioles with a 2-0 victory on Sunday. Cleveland lost each of the first two games of that series by a score of 13-0, becoming the first team all-time to be on the losing end of back-to-back shutouts of at least 13 runs.

 The Royals are 10-8 at home against AL Central opponents this season, including a three-game sweep over Cleveland in April. Over those 18 divisional home games, Kansas City's starting pitching staff has compiled a 2.88 ERA and a .211 opponent batting average.

 Trevor Bauer recorded a season-high 12 strikeouts in his last start, while equaling the most pitches he's ever thrown in an MLB game with 127. Among pitchers with 60+ IP as a starter this season, Bauer's average of 112.2 pitches per start leads the majors.

 When batting cleanup this season, Hunter Dozier has a 1.112 OPS in 121 plate appearances. The only player in the majors with a higher OPS out of the No. 4 hole is Cody Bellinger (1.164; min. 100 PA).

 In 69 career games against the Royals, Francisco Lindor has 20 home runs and 60 RBI. Lindor's .630 slugging percentage against the Royals is the third highest against Kansas City all-time, behind Alex Rodriguez (.644) and Manny Ramirez (.636; min. 300 PA vs. KC).

 Cleveland finished the month of June with a 17-9 record, tied for the best in the AL with the Yankees. Cleveland averaged 1.78 home runs per game in June, after averaging 1.04 from March through May.

Zach Plesac is in his first season in the majors, but he can draw on plenty of experience.
His uncle, Dan Plesac, had an 18-year major league career, and the younger Plesac says he learned quite a bit from his uncle.
