A homer barrage by the Indians buried the Royals, 8-2. Bobby Bonds clouted a two-run round-tripper in the first inning, Andre Thornton smacked a leadoff blast in the sixth, Mike Hargrove connected for a two-run shot in the seventh and Toby Harrah smacked a bases-empty blast in the eighth. It was the Royals' ninth loss in 10 games.
