The Cleveland Indians move to 52-53 as they avoid the four-piece sweep at the hands of K.C. Hardball. Tribe Starter Danny Salazar was good enough with excellent run support to get the Indians the much-needed "W".

The Royals at least through the first three innings had positioned themselves to get the sweep as they led 2-0 after three. The Tribe though added one in the 4th and then erupted for four runs in the 5th highlighted by Tribe Back Stop Carlos Santana's Two-Run Blast off Royals Starter Bruce Chen. Chen's Tab...5 IP 8 H 6 R 6 ER 2 BB 1 SO 2 HR...was not a good day on the hill. Both Ryan Rayburn and Yan Gomes added to the Tribe's Barrage going Solo Bombs as they end up beating the Royals 10-3.

Salazar gets the win going seven allowing three runs on seven hits striking out seven. Both Santana and Gomes each had three hits with Santana adding 4 RBIs (2 HRs) and Gomes two RBIs. The Tribe sits in 3rd place in the AL Central even games back of Detroit. The Royals at 53-51 are 5.5 games back of the Tigers!
