That's what the Indians acquired Ubaldo Jimenez for. Despite allowing seven hits, 10 strikeouts and just one walk kept the Royals at bay, as only an Eric Hosmer solo home run generated any offense.
But hey the Royals ran around! Francoeur was thrown out trying to steal third but you know, the fear he generated will be felt for days.
The Royals wasted a good but not as good start from Felipe Paulino, who ran into a patch of trouble in the 7th. In a move of stunning idiocy, Ned Yost inserted everyday Tim Collins into a tie game with the bases loaded... in a stunning move, Tim Collins walked in the game losing run.
Amazing.
