Indians Deal Royals 4-3 Loss
Jose Ramirez was a major factor in the 4-3 Cleveland win over Kansas City. The Indians second baseman hit 2 home runs. Cleveland reliever Liam Hendriks was the winner. His record is now 3-2. Jairo Diaz took the loss. Kirby Yates recorded the save, making him 37 for 40.

Cleveland used the timely hitting of Matt Carpenter to seize the win. The first baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Indians on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We didn't go down without a fight," said Kansas City manager Bryce Shuck.

The first-place Indians, at 86-43, now lead their division by 12 games.
