The first two innings went well for the Indians as they built a 7-0 lead, but a forgettable 6th inning doomed the Tribe in a 13-7 loss to the Royals.
The barrage of runs by the Royals in the 6th and then five more in the 9th came off relievers Brooks Pounders, RC Orlan and Asher Wojcichowski.
On a positive note the offense got going early, as they scored four in the first on RBI’s by Carlos Santana and Yu Chang, and then a two-run triple by Trayce Thompson.
