James Shields pitches Kansas City to 6-2 win over Cleveland
CLEVELAND, Sept. 11 () -- James Shields allowed four hits in an eight-plus-inning effort Wednesday in pitching the Kansas City Royals to a 6-2 win over Cleveland.The Royals tightened the American League wild-card race with the win, pulling within a half game of the Indians, who started the day 1 1/2 games out of the playoff picture.Shields (11-9) allowed a pair of singles in the first inning but didn't give up another hit until Jason Kipnis and Carlos Santana opened the ninth with base hits. Shields was lifted at that point, having given up one walk and striking out seven.Kansas City closer Greg Holland struck out all three batters he faced in earning his 42nd save.The only Cleveland batters to get on base between the first and ninth innings did so a Shields' error in the third and his walk in the sixth.Alex Gordon hit his 19th home run of the season on the first pitch of the game from Scott Kazmir (8-8). Emilio Bonifacio followed with a triple and scored on Eric Hosmer's single into center. After two outs,[url=http://www.ewwealth.com/]christian louboutin outlet[/url], Justin Maxwell and Lorenzo Cain had singles that drove in Hosmer for a 3-0 Royals lead.The Indians got two of the runs back in their first at-bat when Michael Bourn hit Shields' second pitch for a single and Shields hit Mike Aviles with a pitch. Bourn and Aviles scored on Michael Brantley's one-out single.Kazmir,[url=http://www.ewwealth.com/]christian louboutin discount[/url], who lasted four innings, giving up nine hits and four runs, allowed singles by Bonifacio and Hosmer in the fifth and Bonifacio scored on a double play.
