The Royals begin a three-game series against the AL Central division opponent Indians on Tuesday with Luke Hochevar taking the mound for Kansas City. He'll face Derek Lowe in the pitching duel.
At one point, the Indians led the division, but it was fool's gold. The White Sox and Tigers were both more talented, and in Chicago's case, become even better of the course of the season. So now the Indians are looking up at the Sox and Tigers in the standings, while the Royals are fifth.
