CLEVELAND, May 4 (UPI) -- Luke Hochevar gave up two earned runs on just three hits in six innings Saturday to help the Kansas City Royals record a 4-2 win at Cleveland.

Hochevar, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2006 amateur draft, walked four batters and struck out six.

Four players drove in one run each in the top of the seventh, when the visitors scored all their runs.

Billy Butler hit a go-ahead RBI single, Mark Teahen had three hits and three others had two for the Royals, who stopped a two-game skid.

Cleveland got one run on Hochevar's fourth-inning wild pitch and another Grady Sizemore's solo homer in the fifth.

David Dellucci had two of the four hits for the Indians, who had won seven of their previous 10 contests.

Losing pitcher C.C. Sabathia (1-5), the reigning American League Cy Young award winner, allowed four earned runs and 10 hits in 6 1/3 innings.

After a rainout Friday, Saturday's contest was delayed by rain for 76 minutes.
