Jose Ramirez stayed hot with a three-run homer in the sixth to break open a 2-1 game for the Tribe into a 5-1 affair en route to an 8-3 win over the Royals in Kansas City.
Ramirez homered in the 14th inning of Thursday’s 5-4 win, and followed that up with his 12th blast to open up a four-run lead for the Indians.
Zach Plesac got the start for the Indians and went seven solid innings to move to 5-3 on the season.
The win puts the Indians at a season-high 19 games over .500 at 61-42, and they are still two games back of the top spot in the AL Central after the Twins won over the Sox in Chicago.
