Maybe Royals lefty Kris Bubic (2-0, 0.71 ERA) all of a sudden isn't a mediocre pitcher, but I'm skeptical. He was hit pretty hard in 3.1 innings last year vs. Cleveland. KC used all its high-leverage relievers on Thursday and traveled. The Guardians breezed past the White Sox again and didn't have to travel. Cleveland's Tanner Bibee threw 5.2 shutout innings in Kansas City on March 30.
