Royals Take Game 1 Over Indians

ROYALS WIN 3-1 over the Cleveland Indians and win game 1 of the 3 game series. Eric Hosmer was a triple away from hitting for the cycle, hitting a single in the 1st, double in the 3rd inning, and a 458 foot 2-run homer in the 5th to give the Royals a 2-1 lead. Alcides Escobar hit a RBI double in the 6th inning scoring Jorge Bonifacio to give the Royals the extra insurance run. Jason Hammel pitched 6 complete innings giving up 1 run on 3 hits, 2 walks and 6 strikeouts. Scott Alexander pitched a 1-2-3 7th inning, Joakim Soria pitched a 1-2-3 8th inning and Kelvin Herrera gets the save.

The game is scheduled for 3:15 at Kauffman Stadium. #RaisedRoyal #RoyalNoah
