CLEVELAND -- The Kansas City Royals needed a big hit.
[url=http://www.airmax2018womens.us/]Cheap Red Air Max[/url] . Mike Moustakas
delivered it in an 8-2 win Tuesday night over the Cleveland Indians. Moustakas
three-run homer was the key blow in a four-run fourth inning as the Royals
raised their record to 10-0 when scoring at least four runs. The burst was more
than enough for James Shields (2-2), who allowed two runs and struck out nine in
six innings in winning his second straight start. "Moose drove one in the
seats," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "It was good to see to get on the board
like that." "Thats huge," said Shields, who has 21 strikeouts in his last two
starts. "Were down 1-0 right there. Moose put a good swing on it and got us the
lead." Yost knew his team was in good shape with his ace in charge. "Youve got
James Shields on the mound throwing his usual game," Yost said. "Nine punch-outs
and combine that with what he did his last start, thats pretty impressive work."
Eric Hosmer had four hits, including an RBI double in the seventh. "I really
didnt have my best stuff, but I located my fastball when I needed to and I got
some early outs," Shields said. "Overall, it was a good outing." Cleveland
manager Terry Francona turned 55 years old Tuesday, but the Indians were unable
to win a third straight game for the first time this season. "Unfortunately,
Shields is pretty much the same every time we see him. With his command and
aggressiveness, hes one of the best," Francona said. Danny Salazar (0-3) didnt
allow a hit until the fourth, but unraveled quickly when Hosmer led off with a
single, the first of five hits in the inning. Billy Butler followed with another
single before Salazar retired the next two hitters. Moustakas drove a 1-1 pitch
into Kansas Citys bullpen in right field, breaking a 2 for 15 slump.
Alcides Escobar followed with another single, stole second and went to third on
catcher Yan Gomes throwing error. Jarrod Dysons bunt hit made it 4-1. Salazar
didnt get through the fifth. Hosmer doubled with one out and scored on Butlers
double. Hosmer was 4 for 5. His seventh-inning double gave Kansas City a
four-run lead and he added a single in the ninth. "After that big swing from
Moose, it loosened everybody up," Hosmer said. "We know anytime Shields is on
the mound its not going to take very many runs to get a win." Salazar, who
pitched well in 10 starts after being called up last season, hasnt been able to
find the same consistency in his first four starts. The right-hander allowed
five runs and seven hits in 4 1-3 innings. He struck out six. Shields allowed an
unearned run in the second, but held the Indians in check until the sixth.
Bourns bases-loaded single put Cleveland ahead. Second baseman Omar Infantes
fielding error on Asdrubal Cabreras ground ball started the rally. David Murphy
singled and Lonnie Chisenhall was hit by a pitch with two outs. Bourns sharp
single to right scored Cabrera. Royals catcher Salvador Perez was 0 for 5 and is
hitless in his last 22 at-bats. Cleveland third baseman Carlos Santana is in a 2
for 43 skid after going hitless in four at-bats. The game-time temperature was
announced at 50 degrees, but a strong wind made it feel much colder. The crowd
of 8,848 barely surpassed the all-time low at Progressive Field of 8,726. NOTES:
Royals 1B coach Rusty Kuntz, who suffered a broken left arm during batting
practice Monday, will undergo surgery Wednesday at Cleveland Clinic. Kuntz was
struck by a line drive hit by Perez. Major league coach Mike Jirschele will fill
in for Kuntz for at least the remainder of the series. ... The squirrel that ran
on the field during Mondays game brought back memories for Francona when he was
managing winter ball in the Dominican Republic. "It was about 15 minutes before
the game and there was a goat, a dog and a chicken in centre field," he said.
Francona said the intruders were removed by the time the game began. ... Royals
LHP Jason Vargas (2-0) faces Indians RHP Justin Masterson (0-0) in the third
game of the four-game set Wednesday at 7:05 p.m.
