On Saturday, the Kansas City Royals defeated the Cleveland Indians by a score of 12-5. The Royals secured the route thanks in part to a significant six-run fifth inning which was finished off by Lorenzo Cain hitting a two-run home run. Pitcher Jason Hammel also contributed to the win for Kansas City, recovering after a shaky start on the mound.
