Royals 3, Indians 2
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Melky Cabrera hit a bases-loaded, two-run single off Indians closer Chris Perez with one out in the ninth. Perez, who had been 6-for-6 in save opportunities and was unscored upon in 7 2/3 innings, gave up a leadoff double to Kila Ka'aihue. Pinch runner Mike Aviles went to third when Mitch Maier singled. Aviles was thrown out at home on a grounder to third for the first out. Chris Getz walked, loading the bases for Cabrera.
