On a night when the heat index was just about 100 degrees at first pitch, the Indians bats melted at the plate with Royals starter Jakob Junis and three relievers stopping the Tribe in a K.C. 1-0 win.
Junis pitched two-hit ball through six innings, and the Indians had some chances, but never were able to push the tying run across after the Royals took a 1-0 lead after one half inning.
The loss stops the Indians six-game win streak, and puts them at 56-41 on the season, 31-21 at home with one more game left on their 10-game homestand which sits now at 6-3.
