8 - 27 - 10 vs. Kansas City W, 15 - 4 52 - 76
The anger and frustration had been building up for weeks until it was finally released in the faces of the hapless Kansas City Royals. An Indians' offense struggling to score, all of the sudden could not stop scoring, and the Tribe eventually piled on 15 runs in a blowout victory.
Cleveland wasted little time in jumping on the Royals as they exploded for six tallies in the bottom of the 2nd inning. Matt LaPorta's three - run homer off a hanging curve opened the floodgates, and the Indians were not about to stop. Chris Giminez, Michael Brantley, and Shin - Soo Choo each delivered a RBI base - hit, and the Tribe was well on their way.
The visitors showed some life in the 4th and they were able to cut Cleveland's lead in half. A Wilson Betemit solo homer got the rally started, and a couple of run - scoring singles soon followed.
After a Jayson Nix RBI double in the bottom of the 4th, the Indians began blasting the long ball again.
In the 5th, it was Giminez who lofted another three run bomb, this one to dead center field, and the Tribe had officially put the game on ice.
Nix's three - run shot in the 8th made it a trifecta, and the Indians went on to win, 15 - 4.
Josh Tomlin had a bend but don't break mentality, and it paid off in the form of a win as he was able to work through the 5th inning.
