Multi-HR Game for Hundley in 9-6 Win
Benefiting from Todd Hundley's productive game, the Cleveland Spiders downed the Kansas City Royals, 9-6. Hundley belted 2 home runs, while scoring 3 times and driving in 2 for the Spiders. Steve Karsay earned his 27th save in 40 chances. Cleveland is now 59-61, Kansas City 71-49.

Cleveland used the timely hitting of Tomas Perez to seize the win. The shortstop stroked a 2-run single in the top of the fourth inning to put the Spiders on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"It feels good to get this one," Perez told the Cleveland News.
