Runelvys Hernandez flummoxed the Indians, allowing just two hits and one walk over seven innings with three strikeouts and making just 85 pitches. Fortunately for Cleveland, the two hits were consecutive two out doubles by John McDonald and Milton Bradley that plated a run in the third. They had no further luck against the Kansas City bullpen, with Jason Grimsley and Mike MacDougal each recording perfect innings with two Ks.
The Royals scored three runs, with the go ahead run coming on a little league home run by Michael Tucker in the third, scoring on an Omar Vizquel throwing error after he’d tripled to center. Despite twelve hits (including three each from Brent Mayne and Carlos Febles at the bottom of the lineup), Kansas City managed just three runs, with two runners cut down at the plate.
