The Royals have dropped three of four and will look to get right tonight against Cleveland. Sam Hentges will make his first MLB start after three relief appearances and a 4.76 ERA. The 24-year old left-hander features a mid-90s fastball and a curve, with a bit of a slider.
Mike Minor takes to the hill after a rough outing his last time out against a weak Pirates lineup. The rotation seems like a fluid situation right now, and Minor is a veteran who was signed to a multi-year deal, but he does have experience as an effective reliever, and you have to wonder how long his leash will be if he continues to look inconsistent.
