Breaking up a four-hour, 58-minute game, Jackie Hernandez singled with two out in the 17th inning, scoring Jim Rooker, to give the Royals a 4-3 victory over the Indians. Jerry Adair opened the 17th with a single and was forced at second on a bunt by Rooker. Mike Hedlund then sacrificed, moving Rooker to second, and Hernandez followed with his winning hit.
