9 - 23 - 10 vs. Kansas City L, 4 - 2 62 - 91
The Indians tried desperately to end their four - game losing streak, but they were not able to take full advantage of the opportunities presented to them. And so, the Tribe were bumped into last place by the Royals, the team that currently occupies the spot above Cleveland in the A.L. Central standings.
Mitch Talbot's recent struggles have been well chronicled, and the things got no better for Talbot in this one. Kansas City jumped on him for three runs in five innings, and the loss drops him to 9 - 13 for the season.
Mike Aviles's solo homer just moments into the game got the visitors off to a great start, and the Royals built up a 3 - 0 advantage before the Indians ever threatened.
In the 7th, the Indians began to find some offensive momentum. A couple of walks sandwiched around a Jayson Nix double, loaded the bases with nobody out. However, the Tribe only scored twice with neither tally coming as a result of a base - hit. Although Cleveland had shown some life, they were still trailing by a run.
Kila Ka'aihue added a solo bomb in the 8th as the Royals held on for the win.
