8 - 29 - 10 vs. Kansas City L, 6 - 2 53 - 77
Not much has changed as far as the matchup between Fausto Carmona and Bruce Chen. Eleven days ago, when the two hurlers met in Kansas City, Chen got the better of Fausto and the Indians, and history repeated itself this time around, allowing the Royals to avoid a sweep.
A couple of sacrifice flies by the K.C. hitters in the 4th, staked the visitors to an early 2 - 0 lead before an unlikely hero tied the game.
In the 6th, Jason Donald stepped to plate with one on and two out, and promptly pounded a two - run homer to the deepest part of the ballpark, center field. However, that would be all the offense the Tribe could muster on this afternoon.
Carmona gave up the deciding run in the 7th when Kila Ka'aihue drilled a RBI double to the gap in left - center field.
The score gave Chen the win, and after the Royals tacked on some insurance against the Tribe bullpen, the Kansas City pen closed out the contest emphatically by striking out the final seven Indian batters they faced.
