9 - 17 - 10 at Kansas City W, 11 - 4 61 - 86
As the Indians opened up a three - game set in Kansas City, Shin - Soo Choo decided to have his very own home run derby. The 28 year - old from South Korea belted out three homers, and the Tribe fed off his power surge en route to a big win over the Royals.
Choo's first homer, a two - run shot in the 4th, broke up a scoreless game and sparked a rally. The Tribe went on to score four times in the inning courtesy of Choo's dinger and Lou Marson's two - run single.
Cleveland removed all doubt in the 6th with a five - spot. Once again it was Choo who delivered the biggest blow as he launched a grand slam.
Kansas City was able to make a minimal comeback, but a solo job by Choo in the 8th kept the home team at bay.
After failing eight times, Carlos Carrasco finally won his first major league game. Carrasco lasted six frames while allowing three tallies, and the quality start was his fourth in a row.
