Leron Lee hit two homers, including the first grand-slam of his major league career, and drove in all of the Indians' runs in a 5-2 victory over the Royals. Three walks issued by Bruce Dal Canton set the stage for Lee's jackpot wallop in the third inning. The Royals picked up their pair off Jim Perry on a single by Amos Otis and homer by John Mayberry in the fourth before Lee wrapped up the scoring with a solo swat in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
