The Indians have won four of the first six meetings this season and have won seven consecutive series against Kansas City - Cleveland's longest active streak of series won against any team and longest ever against the Royals. The Indians haven't won eight straight series against a team since between 1999-2002 against Tampa Bay.

The Indians, the majors' ERA leader at 2.78, have a 1.17 ERA in their six games against the Royals. Cleveland's lowest single-season ERA against any team it's faced at least six times is 1.13 against Toronto in 2008.

As a team, Kansas City's infielders have a major league-worst .650 OPS. Cleveland's outfielders, meanwhile, have a .582 OPS - the second worst mark by the group ahead of only Pittsburgh's .562.

Franmil Reyes went 10-for-13 with a homer, four doubles and 2 RBI in three games at Kansas City last weekend. In nine career games against the Royals, he is batting .444 with 16 hits, four homers, five doubles and 10 RBI -- the only player to have 15+ hits, 4+ home runs, 5+ doubles and 10+ RBI in his first nine games against Kansas City

Jose Ramirez has a .333/.423/.700 slash line with six home runs and a 1.123 OPS in 71 plate appearances with one out and a .204/.316/.306 slash line with one homer and a .622 OPS in 57 plate appearances with no outs this season. His difference in OPS of .501 from one out to no outs is the fourth largest in MLB among batting qualifiers.

Maikel Franco's 14 doubles are tied for the AL lead with Cesar Hernandez, Tampa Bay's Willy Adams and Boston's Alex Verdugo, and with 39 hits on the season, 35.9 percent of Franco's hits have been doubles. The highest percent of hits going for doubles by a Royals batting qualifier in a season is 31.0 by Hall of Famer George Brett in 1991.

HP - Estabrook, 1B - Whitson, 2B - Carlson, 3B - Hoye

After taking back-to-back games away from home for the first time in 2020, the Kansas City Royals again have a chance to record their initial winning road series of the season.
The Royals can do so with a third straight victory over the Cleveland Indians on Thursday night.
