Indians Raise Rally Flag, Beat Kansas City, 6-5
The Cleveland Indians managed to get by the Kansas City Royals, 6-5, at Cleveland Stadium. Cleveland first baseman Doug Jennings set himself apart with his performance. Cleveland reliever Sean Johnston was the winner. His record is now 4-0. Carlos Gonzalez took the loss. With the victory, the Indians upped their record to 46-44.

The game was at a stalemate until second baseman Miguel Cairo came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Kansas City pitcher Carlos Gonzalez, he hit a 1-0 changeup for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Cleveland on top, 6-5.

"We'll put that win in the can," said Cairo, "and go after the next one."
