 After losing the first three meetings this season, the Indians have rebounded to win 10 of 13 against the Royals. Cleveland is 42-20 in the past 62 matchups, including a 20-8 mark at home. The Indians' 25 home runs this season against Kansas City are their most vs. any opponent.

 The Royals dropped two of three at Baltimore then traveled north for a 5-4 loss at Boston on Thursday in the completion of a suspended game from August 7th. Kansas City's .240 winning percentage (6-19) since July 25th is the worst in the AL.

 Cleveland was held to two hits in a 2-0 loss to the Mets on Thursday in a game shortened to eight innings and was swept in a three-game series for the first time since May 20-22nd. The Indians have totaled 46 runs during a 2-7 stretch with nearly half of those coming in a 19-5 win over the Yankees on August 15th.

 Jakob Junis is 1-3 with a 6.52 ERA in five starts against the Indians this season and Francisco Lindor is 8-for-13 in their 2019 matchups. Junis has completed at least six innings in a career-best eight consecutive starts overall, tied for the third-longest run by a Royals' pitcher since 2015.

 Jose Ramirez has homered in five straight games against the Royals, tied for the longest active streak vs. any opponent with Edwin Encarnacion (Phillies), Trevor Story (Giants) and Yuli Gurriel (Rockies). The Indians' franchise record is six, shared by Albert Belle (Orioles), Jim Thome (Angels) and Travis Hafner (Rays).

 Lindor is batting .409 (27-for-66) with 11 extra-base hits and nine RBI during a 14-game hitting streak against the Royals. That is tied for the fourth-longest streak ever by an Indians player against Kansas City. Manny Ramirez, Roberto Alomar and Asdrubal Cabrera all had 16-game streaks vs. the Royals.

HP - Hickox, 1B - Torres, 2B - Nauert, 3B - Hernandez

Francisco Lindor has run roughshod over the opposition since July 19, when he began a stretch of hitting safely in 30 of 34 games with two doubles and a single in the Cleveland Indians' 10-5 win over the Kansas City Royals.
Lindor looks to continue his hot hitting on Saturday as the host Indians aim to secure a victory in the current three-game series against the Royals.

Lindor, Indians look to keep bashing Royals

CLEVELAND (AP)  Franmil Reyes had his biggest hit with the Cleveland Indians.
Yet Reyes and his teammates weren't in the mood to celebrate Saturday's victory over Kansas City because it might have come with a significant loss.
