Spiders Bang Out 8-4 Win Versus Kansas City
The Cleveland Spiders defeated the Kansas City Royals, 8-4, at Royals Stadium today. Leading the charge for Cleveland was left fielder Raul Ibanez. He was 2-5 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3. The winner was Sterling Hitchcock, who threw 108 pitches over 5 innings. The left-hander was charged with 4 runs on 5 hits. Carlos Perez earned his 3rd save in 3 chances.

Ibanez had a key at-bat in the top of the third to put Cleveland in front, 4-0. With a runner on 1st, he hit a 2-run home run.

"The name of the game is scoring runs," Ibanez said. "We did a good job of that today."

Kansas City has now lost 4 in a row.
