Season series: Royals lead 3-1
Cleveland lost 10-3 Friday in Kansas City, dropping a 3rd consecutive outing. The Guardians will try to avoid a season-high 4-game losing streak Saturday. The offense has dried up lately, plating just 6 runs in the past 3 outings.
The 10 runs allowed on Friday were the most since losing 11-7 at home against the Detroit Tigers May 7. It’s just the 3rd time all season Cleveland pitching has been dinged for a double-digit run total.
