Kansas City beat the Indians 5-2 on Saturday when tonight's pitcher, Jason Vargas, was the winning pitcher allowing two runs in 5 2/3 innings. Vargas is 6-3 with a 2.39 ERA, including 3-1 and 2.05 at home. He's already faced Cleveland twice this season and given up just two runs in 11 2/3 innings. The Royals are 14-6 in Vargas' last 20 starts and 10-2 his last 12 home starts dating to last season. The Royals lost 6-5 to the Tigers on Wednesday, but they are 10-4 when following a loss this season and they have won four of their last five home contests versus right-handed starters. Josh Tomilin is 3-6 with a 5.79 ERA and Cleveland has lost three of his last four starts. Tomlin is 1-5 with a 6.61 ERA in night games this year and he doesn't often put two good performances together as the Indians are 3-8 with Tomlin following a quality start in his last appearance. Back the Royals.
