 Oakland has gone 17-5 (.773) against teams in the AL Central in 2019, the best record by any AL team against any AL division. The A's pitching staff has a 2.77 ERA against the division, and their starting pitchers have made 15 quality starts in these 22 games.

 The Royals lost two of three to the Indians and have now gone nine consecutive series without a series win. There have only been four longer streaks without a series win in MLB this season (including one by the Royals, from April 15 -- June 9).

 The A's were swept in a two-game set by the Giants, their first back-to-back losses since July 24-26. A's pitchers allowed the Giants a .400 batting average (8/20) with runners in scoring position, but on the season their .248 opponent batting average with RISP ranks seventh in MLB.

 Mark Canha's nine-game hit streak trails only Michael Brantley (18) in the AL, and Canha has only had one longer streak in his career (11 in 2018). He homered three times in the two-game series against the Giants, and he's one of five outfielders with an OPS over 1.000 since the All-Star break (min. 150 PA).

 Jorge Soler hit his 36th home run in his last game and now trails only Mike Trout (42) in the AL. However, he's hit .121 with one home run in his last 10 games -- in his previous 10 games, he hit .400 with seven home runs.

 Ryan O'Hearn had his second career multi-homer game yesterday and scored three runs in a game for the first time in his career. The Royals have gone 14-5 in games O'Hearn homers in his career, and 29-74 in games he's played and does not homer.

HP - Everitt, 1B - Segal, 2B - Welke, 3B - Barrett

The Oakland A's played 129 games before facing the Kansas City Royals for the first time in 2019.
It was worth the wait, as they clobbered the Royals 19-4 Monday night. They'll get right back at it Tuesday as they send right-hander Mike Fiers (12-3, 3.46 ERA) to the mound to face lefty Mike Montgomery (3-6, 4.99 ERA).

Fiers tries to maintain success as A's face Royals

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)  A day after their highest scoring output of the season, the Oakland Athletics had to rely on their pitching to pull out another win.
Fiers and three Oakland relievers combined to shut down the Kansas City Royals and Marcus Semien provided just enough early offense in a 2-1 victory Tuesday night to take a one game lead over Tampa Bay for the second AL wild card spot.
