#499---CLE @ KC, 4/9/2004

 

This game was scoreless after six, but in very different fashions. The Indians had managed just one hit and two walks off Jimmy Gobble, while the Royals had stranded two runners in the second, two in the third, two in the fourth, three in the fifth, and three in the sixth against Jason Stanford and Jack Cressand. Gobble departed after six and while Cleveland got two hits off Jason Grimsley, a double play short-circuited any rally. The dam finally broke for Kansas City in the bottom of the inning as two quick outs were followed by four straight hits, scoring three runs. The Indians would get three straight one out singles of Curt Leskanic in the ninth, but Matt Lawton flied out and Victor Martinez grounded to first.
