Indians go for 11th straight road win

Sep 6, 2008 - 10:20 AM Cleveland (68-71) at Kansas City (60-80) 7:10 p.m. EDT

KANSAS CITY, Missouri (Ticker) -- The Cleveland Indians are likely too far behind to qualify for the postseason. If they played all their remaining games on the road, they might have a chance.

The Indians go for their 11th consecutive road win when they meet the Kansas City Royals on Saturday.

Cleveland is 10 1/2 games behind the first place Chicago White Sox (79-61) in the American League Central, but has been streaking away from home, winning 10 straight for the first time since 2001. If the Indians sweep the series against the Royals, they would tie the franchise record of 12 victories in a row on the road set in 1922.

Zach Jackson (0-1, 6.17 ERA) goes for his first win since 2006 when he takes the mound for Cleveland. Jackson, who was acquired in the trade that sent CC Sabathia to the Milwaukee Brewers, was pounded for six runs and seven hits in five innings, walking one while striking out five during Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Seattle Mariners.

Gil Meche (10-10, 4.07), who is 3-7 with a 5.20 ERA in 16 career starts against the Indians, counters for the Royals.
