Jakob Junis, who has been haunted by the long ball all season, allowed his big league leading 23rd and 24th as his season record fell to 5-10 with his seventh consecutive setback...the Royals came out quick against Tribe starter Corey Kluber, with Whit Merrifield opening the first with a home run, followed by an RBI single from Sal Perez...unfortunately, the next time KC scored a run, Cleveland had put nine on the board to stake Kluber to his 12th win...as for Lindor, he has now hit seven home runs and driven in 23 in 22 career games in The K...the loss was Kansas City s fourth in a row and 15th in the last 18 games... the Royals are now 34 games below.500 for the first time since September 6, 2009 (51-85). GOOD START AT LEAST--Yes, the Royals fell for a fourth straight time, but the scoring started as early as possible with Whit Merrifield opening the home half of the first with his first leadoff home run of the year...taking Corey Kluber s third pitch of the night for a 405-foot ride marked the fourth game-opening blast in Merrifield s career and first for KC since Whit went big fly last August 24 here against the Rockies. JUNIS SLIDE CONTINUES--After starting 2018 with a promising 5-3 record, second-year man Jakob Junis has hit a speed bump, falling for a seventh consecutive start with last night s 9-3 defeat...he is now one setback shy of tying the team mark held by both Kyle Davies (2011) and Jeff Suppan (2002), who each lost eight straight assignments...once again it was the long ball that led to the rugged evening, as Junis allowed a grand slam and three-run homer to Francisco Lindor, upping his big league leading total to 24 home runs surrendered, four more than the Rangers Bartolo Colon and Cole Hamels. JUNE DROUGHT RUNS INTO JULY--The Royals were hoping to put the rugged month of June behind them, but instead extended its club record streak of games without collecting at least 10 hits to 24 in a row by getting eighth hits in last night s loss...this is the fifth longest such streak in the American League since data became available in 1908, with Kansas City s A s the most recent club to experience this with a 25-gamer in the 1910 Senators (28), 1908 and 1954 Philadelphia A s (27 and 25, respectively) are the only other clubs with longer droughts...counting last night, the Royals have scored four or fewer runs in 23 of the last 24 games, which included a streak of 19 in a row that was halted last Wednesday with a 5-4 win in Milwaukee...KC has hit only.191 as a unit (172-for-902) since June 1.
