KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Jarrod Dyson hit a grand slam that capped a seven-run rally in the eighth inning and the Kansas City Royals broke loose after Corey Kluber cramped up, topping the Cleveland Indians 7-3 Monday night.
Kluber scattered five hits and took the mound to begin the eighth with a 2-0 lead. But manager Terry Francona and trainer James Quinlan came from the dugout and pulled Kluber before he could throw a pitch. The Royals then roughed up relievers Jeff Manship and Bryan Shaw, who got the loss. Luke Hochevar worked a scoreless eighth to pick up the victory.
Francisco Lindor homered off Edinson Volquez in the first inning and is hitting .439 with three home runs against the Royals this season.
