The Cleveland Guardians, their seven-game winning streak over, will look to get back on track when they open a four-game road series against the Kansas City Royals on Thursday.

As recently as June 8, first-place Cleveland led second-place Kansas City by just three games in the American League Central, but as the Royals stumbled to a 5-12 mark, the Guardians won 10 of 15.
