4 This & That DOUBLE DIGIT HIT DROUGHT HALTED--Though the outcome resulted in a fifth straight defeat, the Royals put a streak to bed by collecting 12 hits in last night s contest snapping a club record streak of 24 consecutive games without reaching 10 or more hits...it was 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 24 of the last 25 games, which included a streak of 19 in a row that was halted last Wednesday with a 5-4 win in Milwaukee...despite the 12-hit output last night, KC has hit only.196 as a unit (184-for-938) since June 1. BACK TO WORK WITH THE CENTRAL--The Royals have dropped the first two games of this series with Cleveland which ignited a stretch in which 15 of 18 games will be contested within the Central Division, where the Royals are this year, including an 8-6 record in their last 14 intradivision contests...the Royals spent the entire month of June and first day of July playing only the Western Division when competing against the American League, while the interleague slate called for two vs. Cincinnati and two against Milwaukee...things didn t go well against the West, with the Royals going 4-19 during the 23-game stretch and finishing with a 7-26 mark on the year and KC has already completed play against the Western Division...Kansas City has gone just 3-12 vs. the East and has Boston in here this weekend, with the Royals 1-2 from earlier work...kc s work against the National League is 3-6, with the NL Central the focus this season.

ROYALS HAVE THE BEST IN DUPER--Though not tested in the last five games, Kansas City replay review guru Bill Duplissea sealed the victory a week ago today in Milwaukee with his first career walk-off replay victory, apprising the bench that Ryan Braun was in fact out on the back end of a double play...once the call fell into the hands of the New York crew, it was determined that the 27th out did occur and the Royals walked off the field with a 5-4 win...the decision upped Dupe s Major League leading replay mark to 19-for-23 for an 82.6% success rate, which is way ahead of any other big league club based on the numbers from MLB yesterday, with the Yankees next at 73.9% (17-for-23)...Dupe has made good on 68% of his challenges in his career (118-for-174), which ranks among the best, including a Major League best 72.4% success rate over the last three seasons (71-for-98).

WHERE S WHIT???--Kansas City utility man extraordinaire Whit Merrifield has been back at his familiar post at second base for each of the last four games... now in his third big league season, Merrifield s name is likely to be somewhere near the top of the batting order when healthy, but where he ll play on a given day could be virtually anywhere on the diamond...since the first of June, he has started at second base (14 games), in center field (7 times), right field (3 times), at first base (twice) and as the DH (twice)...on the year, he s played four different defensive positions, including his normal location of second base (54 games), center field (12 games), first base (5 games) and right field (8 games)...he has played left field and third base in previous seasons, while also DH ing five times this year.

KC S TOP SKIPPER--The winningest manager in franchise history, Ned Yost recorded his 1,100th career win on May 18 vs. the Yankees and has since upped that career total to 1,111, which is good for seventh on the all-time list among active skippers, while Detroit s Ron Gardenhire is next in the eighth spot with 1,106 career wins...ned has a regular season record at the helm for the Royals, blowing past Whitey Herzog s previous team mark of 410 wins ( )...Yost is the 16th full-time manager in franchise history and is sixth among active managers in games (2,305)...his postseason winning pct. of.710 (22-9) is tops among all managers in history who have worked at least 20 playoff games...this is his second stint as a big league manager after nearly six full campaigns at the helm for the Milwaukee Brewers ( )...he compiled a record with the Brew Crew including a mark in his last two seasons...yost, a catcher during his playing days, began his coaching career in the Atlanta organization, including 12 straight seasons on Bobby Cox s big league staff ( ). vs. Indians (2018) vs. Indians (career) At Home (career) Bauer (career) Sale (career) Player AVG AB H HR RBI AVG AB H HR RBI AVG AB H HR RBI AVG AB H HR RBI AVG AB H HR RBI Almonte Bonifacio Butera Dozier Duda Escobar Gordon Herrera Merrifield Mondesi Moustakas Perez Starting Pitchers Breakdown Total KC Avg.
