08/27/2010 - Cleveland, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chris Gimenez and Jayson Nix both clubbed a three-run homer and knocked in four runs total, as the Cleveland Indians pounded Kansas City, 15-4, in the opener of a three-game series at Progressive Field.
Matt LaPorta belted a three-run homer to fuel a six-run second inning for the Indians, while rookie Josh Tomlin (2-3) gave up three runs on eight hits and four walks in five innings to pick up the win.
Wilson Betemit hit a solo home run as part of a three-run fourth by Kansas City. Bryan Bullington (1-3) allowed seven runs on nine hits and three walks over four full frames to take the loss.
The Indians had scored seven runs over their previous six games and nearly matched that output in the second.
Travis Hafner led off the inning with a single and Nix followed with a double. Both runners then scored on LaPorta's one-out blast to left field. Jason Donald singled and scored on a double by Gimenez, who came home on a single by Michael Brantley. Shin-Soo Choo capped the offensive surge with a two-out single that plated Brantley.
The Royals halved their deficit in the fourth. Alex Gordon walked after Betemit went deep to begin the inning and took third on a double by Willie Bloomquist before scoring on a one-out single by Yuniesky Betancourt. Kansas City trailed 6-3 after Gregor Blanco's two-out single drove in Bloomquist.
Cleveland got a run back in the bottom of the fourth as Nix doubled home Choo.
Kanekoa Texeira replaced Bullington to start the fifth and yielded Gimenez's home run, which followed a leadoff walk to LaPorta and a single by Donald.
Nix's round-tripper came off Greg Holland in the eighth. Brantley lifted a sacrifice fly and Asdrubal Cabrera stroked an RBI double later in the inning.
The Royals pushed across a run in the ninth on a single by Chris Getz.
Game Notes
The Indians set a season high in runs...Donald and Blanco both had four hits for their respective clubs...Kansas City finished 4-for-15 with runners in scoring position and stranded a season-high 16 men on a base.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
