John Buck homered twice, including a grand slam in the 8th inning, as the Royals beat the Indians 9-3. The Indians started the oft-injured Carl Pavano, who seems to help his team out more when he’s on the bench than when he’s on the mound, against the Royals Kyle Davies. Neither pitcher fared very well, but Davies managed to prevent the Indians from getting any big hits to break the game open. The Royals, meanwhile, were ripping apart the Indians pitching for 6 extra base hits, including a triple from new center fielder Coco Crisp.
