Cookie Rojas, no longer an everyday player for the Royals, got a chance to start at third base and responded by driving in three runs to help beat the Indians, 5-3. The veteran singled home one run in the second, doubled to account for another in the seventh and hit a sacrifice fly for the final marker in the ninth. Royals' catcher Buck Martinez threw out four Indians trying to steal.
