Belts third homer Merrifield went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer and was caught stealing during Saturday's 11-5 loss to the White Sox.

Drives in three runs Merrifield went 3-for-5 with a homer, a double, three RBI and three runs scored in Monday's 14-6 win over the Tigers.

Impact Merrifield stuffed the stat sheet Monday, clocking a two-run homer in the third innings and an RBI double in the fourth. After earning his first All-Star nod in 2019, the 31-year-old utilityman is off to a hot start with a hit in each of his first four games to start the season.

Struggles in return to mound Fulmer allowed four runs on five hits and a walk across two innings in a no-decision Monday against the Royals. He struck out two.

Impact Making his first MLB start since 2018, Fulmer was done in by the long ball, as he allowed home runs to Maikel Franco, Whit Merrifield and Salvador Perez. The Tigers capped Fulmer at 47 pitches, and the righty figures to have his workload carefully monitored in his first year back after Tommy John surgery, which limits his fantasy appeal. He lines up to start again Sunday against the Reds, though he'll likely face another innings/pitch count restriction in that outing.

Sitting again Monday Lopez isn't in the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers.

Impact Lopez will play a bench role once again Monday after going 1-for-6 with two walks and a strikeout over appearances in the first three games. Whit Merrifield will shift to second base with Brett Phillips starting in center field.

Dealing ace: Bieber strikes out 14 as Indians win opener 2-0

Shane Bieber dominated Kansas City's hitters, striking out 14 in six innings as the Cleveland Indians beat the Royals 2-0 in their delayed home opener

JULY 25, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Limited impact in season opener Merrifield went 1-for-3 with a stolen base during Friday's 2-0 loss against the Indians.

Impact Merrifield failed to make an impact at the top of the order, but the entire Royals lineup struggled in this season opener -- they went 4-for-30 and 0-for-2 with RISP. Merrifield is a good bet to produce sooner than later, though, as he racked up 206 hits while posting a .302 average and a .348 on-base percentage during the 2019 season.
