Royals Use Late-Game Magic to Beat Indians, 7-4
The Kansas City Royals topped the Cleveland Indians, 7-4, in American League action at Progressive Field. The standout performance belonged to Kansas City pitcher and Newark, New Jersey, native Bryan Boykin. The winner in relief was Gan Ts'ong. The right-hander allowed 2 runs on 4 hits in 1.1 innings. He now owns a record of 4-3. Kansas City has 3 straight wins, Cleveland 3 straight losses.

Kansas City needed the clutch hitting of Manny Estrada to notch the win. The first baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Royals on top, 5-2. For the game, Estrada had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"I just tried to attack the bottom of the zone," Boykin said.
