KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Melky Cabrera homered, doubled, singled and drove in four runs, and Bruce Chen allowed one run in seven innings. Chen has not lost a start in Kauffman Stadium since Aug. 12, 2010, vs. the Yankees. Since then he is 6-0 in nine starts at home. Chris Tillman was pulled after 3 2/3 innings, allowing eight runs on 10 hits and a walk as half the 22 batters he faced reached base. "(Thursday) the wheels kind of fell off," he said. "Things didn't go my way."
