This is the sixth straight road game for the Indians. Cleveland is forced to go with righty Mike Clevinger, up from Triple-A Columbus, replacing injured ace Corey Kluber. Last season he went 3-3 with a 5.26 ERA with the Indians. Walks were a major problem, allowing 29 free passes in 53 innings, along with 50 hits. He was worse on the road with a 7.20 ERA and a losing record. The Indians are 3-8 against a left-handed starter and face Kansas City southpaw Danny Duffy (2-2, 3.89 ERA), who is 14-8 with a 3.47 ERA at home the last three-plus years. The Royals are 25-9 when Duffy starts at home, including 9-3 here against a team with a winning record. Play Kansas City.
