Indians Upend Royals, 5-2
Cleveland picked up a win at Kauffman Stadium, toppling the Kansas City Royals, 5-2. Pitcher Kyle Hendricks was one of the reasons the Indians triumphed. Hendricks, the winner, moves to 11-7. He threw 7 innings of 3-hit ball, while fanning 2 and giving up no walks. Cleveland is now 85-43, 11 games up in the American League Central Division.

Cleveland used the timely hitting of Matt Carpenter to capture the win. The first baseman socked a 2-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Indians ahead, 3-1. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a big one.

"If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," Hendricks told the Cleveland Herald.
