Shockingly, a lineup featuring Mike Freeman, Sandy León, and Delino DeShields put up a decent amount of runs, probably enough to win had the Tribe not made critical mistakes in the field and on the mound. The Kansas City Royals were able to capitalize, snapping their seven-game losing streak with a 8-6 come-from-behind victory over the Cleveland Indians.
The Indians held a 3-0 lead after the second inning and a 5-3 advantage after the third, but the Tribe squandered both. The wheels came off the wagon in the eighth inning, when Adam Cimber and Óliver Pérez combined to surrender three hits, one walk, one hit batter (with the bases loaded), one sac fly, and two runs (including the go-ahead score).
