CLEVELAND (AP) — César Hernández and Óscar Mercado each hit a three-run homer, and the Indians beat the struggling Kansas City Royals 14-6.
José Ramírez and Roberto Pérez also homered for Cleveland, which has won the first three games in the series after losing nine in a row.
All-Star catcher Salvador Pérez hit a two-run homer for Kansas City, which has lost 15 of 18.
Cal Quantrill allowed three runs in six innings for the win.
Sunday’s game rained out
The Indians and Royals began their All-Star break a little earlier than expected.
Their Sunday afternoon game was postponed 90 minutes before the scheduled first pitch at Progressive Field because of inclement weather.
It will be made up as part of a seven-inning doubleheader on Sept. 20 in Cleveland.
