KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Jay Bruce homered twice and drove in five runs as the Cleveland Indians battered the Kansas City Royals 10-1 Friday night.It could, however, be a costly victory for the Indians. Corey Kluber won his fourth straight August start, but the Indians' ace pulled up lame while running to cover first base on Eric Hosmer's sixth-inning infield single.That prompted a visit from manager Terry Francona and the trainer. Kluber stayed in the game for one more batter, a Melky Cabrera single, before being led off the field by the trainer. Kluber was diagnosed with a right ankle sprain.Bruce hit a two-run homer in a three-run first inning off Ian Kennedy and a three-run blast in the seventh inning off rookie Jake Junis. It was Bruce's 25th multi-homer game and his eighth game of at least five RBIs.Dodgers 8, Tigers 5   DETROIT -- Chris Taylor banged out four hits, drove in two runs and scored once to lead steamrolling Los Angeles to a victory over Detroit, their fifth straight win and 20th in their last 23.   Rich Hill (9-4) wasn't dominating for the Dodgers but with seven runs while he was in the game, he didn't have to be. Hill gave up six hits and three runs in his five innings, walking three and striking out five, leaving with a 7-3 lead.   The Tigers' Victor Martinez greeted reliever Josh Fields with his 10th home run, a drive to right, making it 7-4 one batter into the sixth.Cardinals 11, Pirates 10PITTSBURGH -- Tommy Pham, Matt Carpenter and Paul DeJong hit home runs, three of St. Louis' 13 hits, as the Cardinals built an eight-run lead and held on to beat Pittsburgh.St. Louis won its second in a row and 10th in the past 12 to remain 1 1/2 games behind the Chicago Cubs in the National League Central.Pittsburgh lost its sixth straight and fell five games behind the Cardinals and 6 1/2 behind Chicago.Reds 5, Braves 3ATLANTA -- Cincinnati, flashing its power, backed rookie Sal Romano's longest major league start with a three-homer inning off Atlanta's R.A.

The 23-year-old right-hander went seven innings after not going past the sixth previously, allowing five hits and two walks while striking out three.Mariners 7, Rays 1ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- A return home to Tropicana Field did little to slow down Tampa Bay's recent slump as Seattle won its third straight game, opening a three-game series with a win.Nelson Cruz crushed his 30th home run of the season in the ninth -- at 482 feet, the longest ever recorded at Tropicana Field -- and had two of the team's six doubles.Mariners starter Erasmo Ramirez (5-4) faced the team that traded him away last month and held them to one run on three hits.
