With 8-5 Win, Indians Improve to 41-41
Starting pitcher Cliff P Lee pitched well enough to help the Cleveland Indians beat the Kansas City Royals, 8-5. The Indians improved their record to 41-41 with the win over Kansas City.

Cleveland used the timely hitting of Kenny Lofton to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a 2-run single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Indians on top, 3-1. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

In postgame comments to the Cleveland Citizen, Lofton said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come."
