KANSAS CITY -- Hours before Saturday's game, Royals manager Ned Yost said he would be curious how rookie right-hander Heath Fillmyer (Filly) would respond after a discouraging start last Sunday when Fillmyer surrendered a 6-0 lead by giving up six runs in one inning.
Yost got his answer as Fillmyer turned in one of his best starts of the season, holding the Indians to three hits and one run over six innings in the Royals' 7-1 victory over the Indians at Kauffman Stadium.
The Royals clinched their first series win since late July/early August over the White Sox.
