The Texas Rangers are a perfect 7-0 in Kyle Gibson's home starts in 2021 with Gibson posting a minuscule 1.27 ERA in those games. Gibson (5-0, 2.17 ERA) is 9-5 with a 3.99 ERA in 25 career games (23 starts) against the Royals.

KC righty Kyle Zimmer (3-0, 2.48 ERA) will come out of the bullpen to start for the visitors. Zimmer is unlikely to stay in long, which will put a lot of pressure on a Royals' bullpen which ranks 20th in the MLB with a 4.26 ERA.
