Tribe and Stop Him

The Cleveland Indians have had the Royals so far this season. Hopefully, the Royals will find a way to even the score when the Indians finally have to come to Kauffman Stadium.

It does seem a little unfair that the first seven games of the division series were played on the road, but at least they only have to go back to Cleveland one time the rest of the year.

More from Kansas City Royals

The undisputed Indian killer for the KC Royals is none other than Eric Hosmer.

Eric Hosmer may not have the best slash line against the Indians, though it’s still a respectable .285/.337/.485. He does seem to make those hits count though.

He’s got 60 RBIs against the tribe and has hit 13 home runs and 23 doubles. He’s also chipped in a couple of triples in his time against the Indians.

He also destroys the Indians on the road. At Progressive Field, he’s slashing .303/.355/.482 with more than half of his doubles and home runs coming on the road.
