KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Danny Salazar has no idea why he seems to handle the Kansas City Royals so easily.Perhaps its because hes such an aggressive pitcher and they have such an aggressive lineup.The Indians right-hander went right after the Royals in his third outing against them this season, shutting them down into the seventh inning in leading Cleveland to a 7-3 victory.They like to swing a lot, said Salazar (11-3), who tossed 7 2/3 shutout innings against Kansas City in a 7-1 victory in early May, and allowed one run over eight innings in a 6-1 win last month.You really have to mix your pitches.He did that nicely, striking out seven and walking one over 6 2/3 innings.He did a really good job of keeping them off the scoreboard, for the most part, Indians manager Terry Francona said. We really needed that bounce-back win.Mike Napoli hit a two-run homer in the first 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.Francisco Lindor added a solo shot in the ninth for Cleveland.Youre facing an All-Star pitcher in Salazar, said Royals manager Ned Yost, who skippered the winning club last week. Hes not an All-Star for nothing. Hes tough.The Flynn-Gee combo got the call for the Royals in place of ineffective fifth starter Chris Young. Flynn lasted 2 2/3 innings in his first start since August 2014, while Gee went the next 5 1/3 innings.Then again, Cy Young would have had a tough time matching Salazar on another hot, humid night.He didnt allow a runner past first base through the first five innings, striking out Alex Gordon twice along the way. He seemed to falter in the oppressive weather in the sixth, when Salvador Perez drove in a run and Kendrys Morales scored on a wild pitch, but managed to escape the inning.He gave up a sacrifice fly in the seventh before Kyle Crockett finished the inning.Salazar pitched with the lead the entire way after Napolis homer in the first inning, his 21st of the year just skirting inside the left-field foul pole. But the rest of the Indians offense came from the same kind of small ball that carried the AL Central-rival Royals to the World Series title last season.They scored a run in the second on a single, a walk and two sacrifices. The division-leaders added three more in the fifth on a double, three singles, a walk and a fielders choice.It was a nice way to rebound after Cleveland blew a late lead in a 7-3 loss the previous night,I was really pleased the way we handled it, Francona said.STATS AND STREAKSIndians OF Erik Gonzalez had a single in the third for his first career hit. ... Salazar has won seven straight, a career best. ... Lindor has hit 24 career homers. Nineteen have been solo shots. ... Gee matched the longest relief outing of his career.HOT SEATSYost and Francona both said they may change up their lineups for the series finale on Wednesday. Temperatures are expected to approach 100 degrees for the afternoon start with a heat index well into triple digits. Were going to see tonight who needs a break, Yost said.TRAINERS ROOMIndians: OF Michael Brantley will have an MRI on Wednesday after experiencing pain in his right shoulder.

Fake Nike Air Max 1 . LOUIS -- Heading into the final stretch of the season, the issues for the Chicago Bears banged-up defence only seem to be getting worse. Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has revealed watching Europe win the Ryder Cup four years ago is one of his favourite sporting memories.The biennial golf tournament between Europe and the United States started on Friday in Minnesotas Hazeltine National Golf Club.Guardiola is a big golf fan and is hoping to get the opportunity to watch some of this years competition as he prepares City for Sundays Premier League clash with Tottenham.But the last time the tournament was in the U.S, Guardiola was on a 12-month sabbatical from management and was invited to watch the game by fellow Spaniard and Europe captain Jose-Maria Olazabal.It turned out to be the Miracle of Medinah as Europe won eight of 12 singles matches on the final day of action to overturn the United States four-point lead.Guardiola told a news conference: Believe me, I was a football player, I was so lucky, because it was an amazing experience, and as a coach the same. We won prizes as football players, and as a coach, but always you remember not the prrizes when you finish, you remember the time you spend, you have fun in the locker room with the guys, and how many times you laugh.ddddddddddddI dont think I can compare the experience that I lived in Medinah in the Ryder Cup. I think it was the highest experience as a sports guy, I ever lived. I was so lucky that Olazabal invited all my family there.The last round we were 10 points down, on the ropes, and following all the players, seeing the putting from two or three metres, the chipping, the putting, then seeing the crowd in the USA how step by step -- nine, eight, seven, six, five, four -- in the last holes, it was really amazing.It was fantastic and I hope these three days, while Im here in England, I can watch again this marvellous event.I am a big fan of golf and a big fan of the Ryder Cup and hopefully we can enjoy these amazing players, because all of them they are outstanding.
