 Something's got to give as Kansas City, on a six-game losing streak, begins a three-game series against Boston, which has lost eight straight. The Red Sox's eight-game losing streak is tied for their longest since 2014, when they lost 10 in a row.

 The Red Sox have an ERA of 5.64 since July 1, fourth-worst in MLB over that span. Boston pitching has allowed at least four earned runs in 10 consecutive games for just the ninth time since 1940 and for the first time since May 26-June 5, 2004.

 The Royals have gone 5-4 at Fenway Park since 2016. Their 5.89 runs scored per game and batting average of .280 at Fenway are their best in any American League ballpark over that span.

 Rafael Devers enters the series second in the American League with 86 RBI, and his 36 RBI since July 1 lead the majors. He's been particularly adept at generating instant offense with 11 home runs when leading off an inning, one shy of the major league lead.

 Whit Merrifield, whose 141 hits trail only Devers' 144, has been cold recently and enters the series hitless in three of his last four games. Since July 18, Merrifield is slashing .191/.257/.265. That .191 batting average is his third-lowest over any 16-game span in his career.

 Despite MLB steals leader Adalberto Mondesi (31) being out since July 17, the Royals still lead the majors in both stolen bases (92) and stolen base attempts (123). Boston catcher Christian Vazquez is tied for third in the majors with 15 runners caught stealing.

HP - Blakney, 1B - Carlson, 2B - Gibson, 3B - Gorman

Having just put an eight-game losing streak behind them, you might think the Boston Red Sox have already reached the lowest of lows.
And yet, a new rock bottom stares them in the face as they host the Kansas City Royals in the rubber match of a three-game series Wednesday night.
