Choo’s RBI single puts Tribe over Royals 4-3 in 10
CLEVELAND — Shin-Soo Choo lined a single off a low-flying sea gull, driving in Mark DeRosa from second base in the 10th inning to give the Cleveland Indians a 4-3 win over the Kansas City Royals on Thursday night.
DeRosa opened the inning with a single off Kyle Farnsworth (1-4).
Victor Martinez then walked and Choo lined a 1-0 pitch over the second-base bag. Center fielder Coco Crisp came in to try and make a play, but the ball clipped the wing of one of the hundreds of birds that have been buzzing the ballpark the past couple of weeks. The ball bounced past Crisp and DeRosa scored easily.
Matt Herges (2-0) worked the top of the 10th, allowing one hit.
