The Indians rallied off Royals relievers Kelvin Herrera and Brandon Maurer to pull out a 3-2 victory to extend their winning streak to 22 games.  Herrera gave up a two-out double in the ninth to Francisco Lindor to tie the score for his fifth blown save.  Maurer failed to retire any of the three batters he faced in the 10th.  That spoiled a solid start by rookie Jake Junis, who allowed one run over five-and-two-third innings.
