KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Danny Salazar handled the Royals for the third time this season, the Indians roughed up Kansas City’s starter-by-committee and Cleveland rolled to a 7-3 victory Tuesday night to even their three-game series.

Salazar (11-3) allowed three runs over 6 2-3 innings while striking out seven. His latest starring role against the Royals came after the right-hander tossed 7 2/3 shutout innings in a 7-1 victory in early May and allowed one run over eight innings in a 6-1 win last month.

Mike Napoli hit a two-run homer off Brian Flynn (1-1), and Carlos Santana drove in two runs off long reliever Dillon Gee, as the Indians snapped a five-game skid at Kauffman Stadium.
