KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 26 (UPI) -- David Huff held the Royals to two runs and seven hits Wednesday in Cleveland's 4-2 win over Kansas City.

Huff (8-7) threw 94 pitches -- 62 of them strikes -- and retired 12 batters on routine fly balls.

Closer Kerry Wood, the last of four pitchers, earned his 16th save with a 1-2-3 ninth.

Cleveland's Matt LaPorta hit a solo homer, and Shin-Soo Choo drove in a run.

Asdrubal Cabrera had one RBI, while Jamey Carroll had three hits for the Indians, who won twice in the three-game series.

The winning run scored on a fifth-inning wild pitch by Kansas City starter Luke Hochevar (6-7), the losing pitcher.

Kansas City scored on Mark Teahen's first-inning sacrifice fly and Miguel Olivo's double in the third.

Billy Butler had three hits and Olivo had two for the Royals, who have lost six of seven.
