Rodriguez Lifts Royals to 18-10 Triumph
In a high-scoring game between Kansas City and Cleveland, catcher Ivan Rodriguez was a difference-maker. The 27-year-old helped Kansas City grab the 18-10 win. He belted 2 home runs, while scoring 4 runs and driving in 7. Mark Grant went 5 innings for Kansas City to pick up the win. The right-hander was charged with 4 runs. He scattered 7 hits, while walking 2 and striking out 2. His record improves to 10-12. Kansas City improves to 104-55 with the win. They lead their division by 2½ games.

With Kansas City leading 4-3 in the bottom of the fifth, Rodriguez hit a cutter from Mark Dewey for a 3-run home run. It was his 25th home run of the season and put the Royals ahead, 7-3.

"Our approach was just to try to see something over the plate and be aggressive," Rodriguez told the Kansas City Daily.
