 The Orioles notched a rare series win when they took two of three from the Royals at home from August 19-21. Baltimore has lost seven in a row in Kansas City and is 2-15 there in the past 17 meetings, including two losses in the 2014 ALCS.

 The Royals lost their fifth consecutive series following a 9-8 defeat to the Athletics on Thursday. Kansas City is 0-9-1 in its last 10 series since sweeping a two-game set in Atlanta from July 23-24 and has an MLB-worst .250 (8-24) winning percentage since July 25.

 Baltimore settled for a split of its two-game set at Washington with an 8-4 loss on Wednesday. The Orioles have posted a 3.17 ERA and allowed six home runs during a current 5-3 stretch after they had an 8.58 ERA with 16 longballs surrendered during an eight-game slide.

 With the Royals starting Erik Skoglund on Friday, Hanser Alberto could set the Orioles' record (since 1954) for hits off left-handers in a season. Alberto has an MLB-leading 72 hits off southpaws, one behind Rafael Palmeiro's record of 73 set in 1998. Alberto leads the majors with a .407 average against lefties (min. 100 PA).

 Jorge Soler hit his 37th home run Thursday, leaving him one shy of Mike Moustakas' franchise record set in 2017. Soler is second in the AL in homers this season and tied for second this month with nine. After hitting nine in 2018, Soler has the largest increase in homers in the majors this season at plus-27.

 Jonathan Villar is two doubles shy of becoming just the fourth player in Orioles' history (since 1954) with 20 home runs, 20 stolen bases and 30 doubles in a season. Manny Machado (2015), Brady Anderson (1996) and Paul Blair (1969) are the others.

HP - Diaz, 1B - Blaser, 2B - Randazzo, 3B - Nelson

Kansas City Royals manager Ned Yost had a six-year major league career as a catcher before his managerial career, which is in its 16th season. So he's a pretty good judge of what makes pitchers successful.
"I think you're talking about pitching with conviction more than anything else," Yost said. "I think it's enormously important being able to trust your stuff and pitch with conviction. The greatest thing these guys can figure out right now is, 'What's my strength?' A lot of these guys don't have a strength because they're not consistent with their pitches."

Royals' Lopez puts unbeaten mark vs. Orioles on line

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)  The Kansas City Royals went small to come up big against the Baltimore Orioles.
''That's the Kansas City Royal way right there,'' outfielder Brett Phillips said.
