 Cleveland's .643 win percentage against the AL Central since the start of the 2016 season (209-116 record) is the best by any MLB team against its own division. That includes a 52-27 mark versus the Royals, against whom they have won two of three games this year.

 The Indians are 12-6 on the road this year with an MLB-low 2.52 ERA. No MLB team has had a road ERA that low since the Pirates in 1968 (2.44); the only AL team in the DH era (since 1973) to finish with a sub-3.00 road ERA is the 2018 Astros (2.87).

 The Royals dropped two of three games to the White Sox over the weekend, the sixth straight series they have lost or tied. Kansas City has won exactly one game in all six of those series.

 Whit Merrifield is one of three MLB players with at least 80 extra-base hits and 25 stolen bases since the start of last season, along with Trevor Story and Christian Yelich.

 Jose Ramirez has homered in his last five road games against the Royals (all in 2019), the longest streak all-time by a Royals opponent. He has nine homers and 18 RBI over his last 13 games versus the Royals overall (home or away).

 Shane Bieber is leading the majors in wins (6, tied with Yu Darvish), strikeouts (75) and ERA (1.35, tied with Max Fried). The only pitchers since 1950 to lead MLB in all three categories are Sandy Koufax (three times), Dwight Gooden (1985) and Johan Santana (2006).

Cal Quantrill grew up around the game of baseball with his father, Paul, who had a 14-year major league career with seven teams. So he probably understands the idea of pulling up stakes and moving in the middle of the season.
That doesn't make it any easier.

Indians seek series win vs. Kansas City

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)  Triston McKenzie tossed six innings of three-hit ball to celebrate his 23rd birthday, Tyler Naquin hit a pair of homers for the only runs of the game, and the Cleveland Indians beat the Kansas City Royals 5-0 on Wednesday night.
McKenzie (2-0) needed just 81 pitches thanks to six strikeouts, no walks and some slick defense behind him. His bullpen went the rest of the way, holding the Royals without a hit over the final three innings.
