A four-run outburst in the fifth inning enabled the Indians to snap their four-game losing streak by edging the Royals, 5-4, and end the Royals' six-game winning streak. The fifth-inning rally began with a one-out triple by Rick Manning. After Bobby Bonds walked, Andre Thornton followed with an RBI single.
