Royals 5, Indians 1

CLEVELAND (AP) — Francisco Lindor believes the Cleveland Indians need a spark.

Lindor homered in the ninth inning of Cleveland’s 5-1 loss to the Kansas City Royals, then said the Indians’ “energy is down” and that “guys are dragging their feet a little.”

Cleveland has lost three straight but still leads the AL Central by 14 games.

Lindor added he thinks “we’ll be fine.”
