Kansas City Gets 10-3 Win Against Indians
The 10-3 Kansas City win over Cleveland was due in large part to George Brett. The Royals designated hitter was 2 for 4 with a home run, while scoring 2 and driving in 3. Bret Saberhagen earned the win for Kansas City. He lasted 5.1 innings, allowing 3 runs on 6 hits, while striking out 7. With the win, he raised his record to 10-13. Kansas City, at 72-64, is 3 games up in the American League Central Division.

The Indians had been locked in a 3-3 tie with the Royals going into the bottom of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the 29-year old second baseman Jose Offerman came to the plate. Offerman hit a 3-run home run on a 2-2 changeup from Cleveland hurler Corey Kluber. It was Offerman's 1st home run of the year.

"Winning never gets dull," said Offerman.
