Kansas City beat Cleveland at Progressive Field, eking out a 5-4 win. The win was due in large part to catcher Mike Meyerhoff. He was 2-5 with a home run, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. The win puts Kansas City at 78-61 this season.

Meyerhoff had a game-changing home run in the top of the tenth. On a 2-2 changeup from Paul Lewis, he banged a solo home run to left, giving the Royals a 5-4 lead. It was the 30th home run of the year for Meyerhoff.

"We didn't go down without a fight," said Cleveland manager Bersha Nainco.
