Indians 7, Royals 2
CLEVELAND — Orlando Cabrera hit a three-run double in the first to lift the Indians to their ninth consecutive home win. Cleveland's Josh Tomlin gave up solo homers to Jeff Francoeur and Mike Aviles in the second, but he has gone at least five innings in each of his first 17 appearances in the majors, a club record. Kansas City's Alex Gordon was hitless, ending his hitting streak at 19 games.
