The Guardians lead the American League in both batting average (.298) and on-base percentage (.360) through three games. Cleveland is also leading the AL with 25 singles, and the Guardians have two triples on their ledger.

From there, the Royals can lean on Carlos Hernandez, with the right-hander boasting a 3.68 ERA in 2021. He allowed only 0.74 home runs per nine innings last season, and Hernandez has 3.2 scoreless innings on his profile against Cleveland.
