Andrés Giménez hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning off Kansas City rookie Collin Snider and José Ramírez drove in three more runs, sending Cleveland to a 7-3 win over the injury-riddled Royals on Monday night.
Ramírez hit his 13th homer — a two-run shot in the fifth — and raised his major league-leading total to 51 RBI.
Cleveland’s most consistent starter despite a lack of run support, RHP Cal Quantrill (1-3) starts Tuesday against Royals LHP Daniel Lynch (2-3) at 5:10.
