The Indians pound the Royals, 19 – 1, collecting 20 hits and 8 walks. Reliever Vin Mazzaro bears the brunt of the damage: he gives up 10 runs in the 4th inning, and a team-record 14 runs overall as he takes one for the team. He is then sent down to AAA Omaha immediately after the game, his ERA having ballooned to 22.74. He is only the fourth pitcher since World War II to give up 14 runs in a game. Michael Brantley and Matt LaPortadrive in 4 runs each, while Travis Hafner and Orlando Cabrera chip in with 3 RBIs apiece. Kyle Davies is the loser, retiring only one batter on a nightmarish evening for Kansas City’s pitchers.
