The Royals played power ball once again and rolled to a 6-4 victory over the Indians in the series opener on Friday.
The Royals trailed 4-0 when Brandon Moss lined a three-run shot into the right field seats in the fourth.
An inning later, Mike Moustakas tied it with a solo blast, his team-leading 12th home run this season.
The game-winner didn’t go over the wall but was well-struck by Jorge Bonifacio, who roped a two-run double in the eighth.
The victory ended the Royals’ eight-game losing streak at Progressive Field dating to last year, and the two home runs pushed their seven-game road-trip total to 15.
