The Kansas City Royals are riding high on the success of James Shields which should pay off on Wednesday as the pitcher has excelled against the Chicago White Sox in recent starts. The Royals have played well overall at US Cellular Field, winning seven of their previous eight series and look to do the same as Shields goes for his fourth straight win their.

Kansas City has found some offense as they have won 11 of their last 13 games at US Cellular Field. That could spell good things for the games to considering prior to playing the Chicago White Sox, the team had totaled just 17 runs in eight games, seven of them being losses. Mike Moustakas was the reason for the win on Tuesday after homering twice in the 14-hit game by the Royals. He is hitting .286 in his last 15 games. Eric Hosmer will be out for this game which could hurt Kansas City considering he is riding a 16-game hit streak.

The Royals will start Shields who is 9-5 on the year and 3.70 ERA. He is coming off a shaky start after giving up eight hits and four runs in five innings to the Boston Red Sox. In his last start against the White Sox, he gave up 10 hits, but won for the third straight time. He has a 1.95 ERA in Chicago.

The White Sox will counter Shields with Jose Quintana. He is 5-7 with a 3.26 ERA on the year. In his last start against the Houston Astros, he gave up two runs and three hits over five innings while striking out eight. He is 0-5 with a 4.52 ERA against the Royals in 10 career starts. Royals' batters have excelled against him. Moustakas is 8 for 22. Billy Butler is 5 for 24. It could be another loss for Quintana who has yet to beat Kansas City.
