KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 26 (UPI) -- The team bus was involved in a minor accident Wednesday when the Cleveland Indians headed to Kansas City's Kauffman Stadium to face the Royals.

The team said on its Web site the bus was side-swiped by a car that hydroplaned in the rain on the Blue Parkway.

No one was hurt.

Players Justin Masterson, Tony Sipp, Fausto Carmona, Wyatt Toregas, Aaron Laffey, David Huff, Rafael Perez and Tomo Ohka and assistant general manager in charge of scouting, John Mirabelli, all were aboard and arrived about 30 minutes late.

"Tough town," Manager Eric Wedge joked before Wednesday's contest.

In September 2004, also at Kansas City, Cleveland pitcher Kyle Denney was hit in the right calf when a shot was fired at the team bus and never pitched in the majors.
