9 - 19 - 10 at Kansas City L, 6 - 4 62 - 87
Shin - Soo Choo hit his 20th homer and he also stole his 20th base. Michael Brantley extended his hitting streak to 19 games. Yet, despite those individual accomplishments, the Indians still came up short in their bid for a sweep in Kansas City.
Choo's home run, a two - run belt, was struck in the 1st inning, and it got the Tribe off to a great start.
However, Josh Tomlin, who would stuggle all day long, quickly gave the lead up. In the bottom of the 2nd, a couple of key walks came back to bite Tomlin, and the Royals eventually piled on four runs.
K.C. removed all doubt with a two - spot in the 6th. The highlight of the rally was a Yuniesky Betancourt steal of home that came on the back end of a successful double steal.
Speaking of steals, Choo's swipe of second base made him just the fourth player in franchise history to record multiple 20 - 20 seasons.
