Pitching dominates in 3-0 win over Cleveland

The Royals salvaged at least a split of the four-game series with Cleveland by taking down the Tribe 3-0 on Wednesday.

For the first time since the season opener, Danny Duffy took the mound at Progressive Field. Facing a struggling Indians offense, Duffy worked through the first four innings without much trouble.

On the other side, Carlos Carrasco was doing the same to Royals hitters. The 11-year veteran gave up a lead-off single to Whit Merrifield and then proceeded to dominate over the next five innings.

The two pitchers cruised through the opposing lineups until the bottom of the fifth inning.
