Spiders Prove Rude Guests, Win 11-4 at Kansas City
The Cleveland Spiders stopped the Kansas City Royals, 11-4, behind an impressive performance from Kevin Mitchell. The 1984 Rookie of the Year winner made life miserable for Kansas City pitching. He went 3-6 with a home run and a double. He scored 3 runs and drove in 2. The winner was Pete Schourek, who threw 128 pitches over 8.1 innings. The left-hander was charged with 4 runs on 6 hits. Cleveland is 61-69 and Kansas City, with the loss, 86-43.

In the top of the second, Howard Johnson hit a 2-run single for Cleveland. The 111st hit of the season for the Cleveland designated hitter put the Spiders on top, 5-4.

"We'll relax tonight and get back after it tomorrow," Johnson said after the game.
