Royals Beat Indians, 7-4
Kansas City catcher Ivan Rodriguez contributed to his team's 7-4 win over the Cleveland Indians. Rodriguez, who leads the AL with a .458 batting average, went 3 for 5 with no runs scored to lead the offensive attack for the Royals. Picking up the win was Kevin Brown. He went 6.2 innings, allowing 3 runs on 7 hits. The right--hander struck out 2 and walked 2. Cleveland is now 6-6.

The Royals got an important contribution from first baseman Derrek Lee, who in the bottom of the third punched a full count slider into right for a run-scoring double. It was his 4th double of the season and put the Royals ahead, 3-1.

"We cashed in when we had the chance," said Kansas City manager Gamma KC.
