08/19/2008 - Cleveland, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Grady Sizemore hit a three-run homer, while Ryan Garko and Shin-Soo Choo chipped in solo shots as the Indians turned away the Royals, 9-4, in the opener of a three-game series
Anthony Reyes (2-1), in his third start since being acquired from the Cardinals, threw the minimum five innings to get the win, allowing two runs on six hits and three walks for the Indians, who have won three of four.
Luis Hochevar (6-12) dropped his fifth straight decision, yielding four runs on seven hits in five innings. The first overall pick in the 2006 draft left the game with rib cage tightness on his right side and is listed as day-to- day.
Mike Aviles had two hits, a walk and scored twice, while Jose Guillen knocked in a pair for Kansas City, which has dropped six of seven. Miguel Olivo was 3- for-4 in a losing effort.
The Royals wasted little time in tallying their first run. Aviles walked to start the game, moved up to second on a groundout and scored on David DeJesus' double to the right-field gap.
It was the last lead the visitors had as Cleveland brought across three in the second. With one away, Choo smoked an opposite-field solo shot into the first row of seats in left-center to tie the game. After a Garko single, Kelly Shoppach doubled in a run and scored on Asdrubal Cabrera's base hit.
To open the fourth, Hochevar hung a breaking ball to Garko, who turned on the pitch and lofted it just over the left field wall for his 10th homer of the year.
Guillen's RBI groundout in the away fifth brought a run back, and the Royals managed to make it a one-run game an inning later. Jason Smith singled home Ross Gload with two away, but Olivo was thrown out trying to move from first to third on the hit. The blunder proved costly when Aviles singled to right, only to have Esteban German strike out looking to end the inning.
Leo Nunez relieved the injured Hochevar in the sixth, but couldn't keep the Royals close. A walk and double set the stage for Sizemore and the center fielder went deep to right for his 28th homer of the year, tying his career high set in 2006.
Cleveland pushed its lead to 9-3 in the eighth off Kip Wells, who the Royals signed before the game for the remainder of the season. Franklin Gutierrez doubled in a run, reached third on a wild pitch and trotted home when Olivo's throw to third got past the bag.
Guillen knocked in German in the ninth to account for the game's final tally.
