Indians 6, Royals 0: Fausto Carmona pitched 3-hit ball over 8 innings, retiring his final 16 batters and leading host Cleveland over Kansas City Royals. Travis Hafner homered for Cleveland, which cut its magic number to nine for clinching its first AL Central title since 2001. The Indians, who have won 17 of their last 21 games, remained 5½ games ahead of second-place Detroit. Cleveland first baseman Ryan Garko left the game in the bottom of the eighth when he was hit on the right hand by a throw from shortstop Jason Smith.
