The Tribe is in the Show-Me-State to take on the Royals. The Indians are looking to make up some ground in the AL Central. Monday night was game one of a four game stint.
The Royals had won seven out of their last nine coming into the series. The Indians were coming off a series win against the Chicago White Sox.
Aaron Civale was on the bump for Cleveland pitching for the first time in Kauffman Stadium. Civale has only faced Kansas City once last September. He was charged with the loss going six innings, allowing four runs while recording seven strikeouts.
