Ramirez Slugs Indians to 7-6 Win
The Cleveland Indians topped the Kansas City Royals by the score of 7-6, with the biggest share of the credit going to third baseman Jose Ramirez. Ramirez slugged 2 home runs, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 2 for the Indians on the day. Shane Bieber got credit for the win, improving to 5-7. He allowed 6 runs on 10 hits in 7.1 innings. Brad Hand got the save, his 14th in 17 chances.

It could have been a different outcome for Cleveland, had it not been for Franmil Reyes, the 24-year old right fielder . Reyes contributed a run-scoring walk in the top of the seventh inning to put Cleveland up, 4-3.

"We'll pop the top on a cold beverage and get back to work tomorrow," Ramirez said.

The American League Central Division-leading Indians have a record of 50-32.
