Scattering seven hits, Larry Gura won his seventh straight game as the Royals copped a 10-2 decision over the Indians. K.C. blew the game open with four runs in the third inning. Amos Otis and Clint Hurdle each had RBI singles and Jamie Quirk drilled a bases-loaded double to produce two more tallies. Quirk, Darrell Porter and John Wathan all drove in runs in a five-run eighth and two more runs scored on an error. [The Sporting News]
