The Kansas City Royals will try to get back on track and avoid being swept at home by the Cleveland Indians in an early one today at Kaufmann Stadium. Mike Matheny will turn to the best he has, lefty Danny Duffy. Duffy has been delivering in 2021. He has a mark of 4-1, with a nasty ERA of only 0.60, a 0.97 WHIP, and shut down the Indians back on April 5th tossing a gem, allowing no runs, just 2 hits, in a Royals 3-0 win. Triston McKenzie is expected to get the nod for Cleveland and his numbers are not good. He is 0-1 with a 6.27 ERA, a 1.71 WHIP, and the Indians are 0-5 in his last 5 road starts. The Royals have had the lead in all 3 games of this 4-game set, only to end up blowing it. That won’t happen with Duffy on the hill.
