KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Corey Kluber threw 95 pitches over seven scoreless innings, but was removed with a cramping right calf.
The Cleveland Indians' bullpen couldn't hold the lead.
Kluber scattered five hits and took the mound to begin the eighth with a 2-0 lead. But manager Terry Francona and trainer James Quinlan came from the dugout and pulled Kluber before he could throw a pitch.
Jarrod Dyson hit a grand slam that capped a seven-run rally in the eighth and the Kansas City Royals took advantage after Kluber's exit, topping the Indians 7-3 Monday night.
