Indians 7, Royals 5
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Justin Masterson improved to 4-0, and the Indians rallied after being stymied for five innings by Luke Hochevar. The Royals starter retired the first 15 while allowing only three hard-hit balls to give him 31 straight outs over two starts. He lost everything, including his composure, in a messy sixth that saw Cleveland send nine men to the plate. Masterson settled down after a two-run first.
