The first game was delayed by rain for two hours, fourteen minutes. In the nightcap, Mark Teahen hit a pair of solo homers, giving him five hits in the two contests.

Ryan Shealy led a 16-hit attack for Kansas City with four hits and two RBI.

Winning pitcher Robinson Tejada (2-2) yielded an earned run and just two hits in five innings and closer Joakim Soria earned his 37th save by quelling a bases-loaded situation in the bottom of the ninth.

Cleveland got one RBI from Kelly Shoppach, one run on Tejada's second-inning wild pitch and Ryan Garko's ninth-inning two-run homer.

Grady Sizemore had two of the eight hits for the Indians, who had split their previous 10 games.

The losing pitcher was starter Bryan Bullington (0-1).
