After taking the series opener 4-2, The Cleveland Guardians shoot for two in a row against the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday at Kauffman Stadium. The Guardians clinched their fourth win in five games on Monday as Josh Nayor and Lane Thomas each blasted two homers while Gavin Williams put on a surgical pitching performance, allowing one earned run with six strikeouts in 7 innings. Cleveland direly needs to win every win between now and the end of the season to keep both the Minnesota Twins (75-62) and Kansas City from overtaking them in the three-way AL Central title race. Meanwhile, the Royals seek to end a six-game losing streak that has sent them 4.5 games below the Guardians and one full game behind the Twins in the standings. Batting struggles have struck the Royals over the past five games, as they averaged .141 at the plate with 2.2 runs per game.
