KANSAS CITY ROYALS AT CLEVELAND INDIANS
GAME ID: 942 - MONDAY, AUGUST 24TH , 2015 - GAME LOG
  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
Kansas City Royals (59-76) 0 1 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 3 8 0
Cleveland Indians (85-50) 2 0 0 0 0 1 0 2 X 5 8 1
Jackson Hits 2 home runs in Indians Win
Indians right fielder Austin Jackson put his stamp on his team's 5-3 win over the Kansas City Royals. Jackson was 3 for 3 with 2 home runs and a walk, while scoring 3 times and driving in 2 for Cleveland in the contest. Josh Beckett, credited with the win in relief, is now 6-6. He allowed no runs on 1 hit in 0.2 innings. Greg Holland got the save, his 19th in 20 chances.

Cleveland took a 4-3 lead on Charlie Blackmon's 33rd home run of the season. The solo home run, which Blackmon hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Kansas City pitcher Anthony Vasquez visibly frustrated.

"The bar for us is not a particular opponent, it's ourselves," said Cleveland manager Jake Indians.

Cleveland has won 4 straight, while Kansas City has lost 3 in a row.
