April 5 was a simpler time. The Royals offense looked like it might be a positive. Their young pitching was all promise and basically no fail. And the Royals beat the Indians 3-0 behind a good performance from Danny Duffy. Since then, the Indians have beaten the Royals 11 times in a row and done it in a number of different ways. They’ve blown them out, won close games and come back. But the common denominator is that they just keep winning. After a bit of a surge by the Indians, they’re 6-10 in their last 16, but they did blow out the Yankees two games in a row in games the Yankees very badly had to win, so there’s something there.
