The Royals will try to build off that game while attempting to earn their fourth straight win overall and sixth in a row over the Cleveland Indians in Thursday night’s series finale at Kauffman Stadium. Yuniesky Betancourt had two hits and three RBIs on Wednesday night as Kansas City endured a Cleveland rally for a 9-7 victory, scoring its highest run total since June 27. The Royals had batted .228 in their previous 14 games - 48 points lower than their season average - and averaged a little more than two runs per contest. Kyle Davies will try to continue that run while building off his own solid outing, Friday’s 4-3 victory over the Yankees. He allowed three runs and seven hits over five innings in that win but hasn’t beaten any team but the Yankees since May 28.

Having lost his past four decisions, Mitch Talbot seems an unlikely candidate to change those trends. The right-hander, who recently spent time on the disabled list, has a 5.53 ERA over his last six starts but has also received 10 runs of support since his previous win June 27. He was tagged for six runs over four innings in his return from a strained back in Saturday’s 9-3 loss to Seattle. In his only start against Kansas City on May 20, Talbot was reached for six runs over six innings as his team fell by the same 9-3 margin. A similar performance on Thursday could help the Royals complete their first home sweep of the Indians since May 8-10, 2006.
