After struggling through his worst outing of the year, Zack Greinke looks to recapture his early-season form and help the Kansas City Royals get consecutive wins for the first time in more than three weeks tonight in the finale of a three-game series against the Cleveland Indians.

Kansas City's success with Greinke on the mound has fallen off. The righthander won his first six starts, but the Royals are only 2-4 in his last six.

Now Greinke will be charged with helping Kansas City win back-to-back games for the first time since mid-May. He's 2-3 with a 2.48 ERA over his last seven starts against Cleveland, including 1-0 with a 1.64 ERA in two this year.

The Indians will try to bounce back behind Jeremy Sowers. Sowers is 2-1 with a 3.43 ERA in four career starts against the Royals.
