The Indians erupted in the first inning for 7 runs and held on for the win. It was Kansas City’s home opener, and the Indians first game of a nine game road trip.Derek Lowe recorded his second win of the season, or to put it another way- both of Cleveland’s victories.

8 runs? whatttt
Looks like the next two games of this series they will be shut out, right?
Big props to Jenmar Gomez for throwing at a KC hitter after being warned if he did so he’d be ejected. Choo got beaned again tonight (Saturday) which led to the benches clearing. Hannahan also got tossed after going postal.
