It might not have mattered. While the Dodgers are preparing for the playoffs, the Padres showed their future has promise behind two rookies. KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Kansas City Royals search for a fifth starter evidently will continue after two of the favorites for the job did little to help their cause Tuesday.Brian Flynn gave up three runs while failing to make it through three innings, Dillon Gee entered and gave up three more runs, and the Royals lost to the Cleveland Indians 7-3 on a hot, muggy night.Were just looking for a guy right now, said manager Ned Yost, who shuffled Chris Young off to the bullpen weeks ago. Weve got time to think about it. Weve got an off day on Thursday, so well be able to skip that spot the next time around. Well probably take advantage of that and consider all of our options.He would love to have someone like Danny Salazar to nail it down.The Indians right-hander allowed three runs over 6 2/3 innings while striking out seven, beating the Royals for the third time this season. Salazar (11-3) tossed 7 2/3 shutout innings in a 7-1 victory in early May and allowed one run over eight innings in 6-1 win last month.Youre facing an All-Star pitcher in Salazar, Yost said. Hes not an All-Star for nothing.Mike Napoli hit a two-run homer off Flynn (1-1), and Carlos Santana drove in two runs off Gee, as the Indians snapped a five-game skid at Kauffman Stadium. Francisco Lindor added a solo shot in the ninth.I was just trying to bust him in there, knowing he was going to be swinging two-and-oh, trying to get in and get a soft ground ball, Flynn said of the first-inning homer by Napoli. I just tried to get it in, saw him off or try to get weak contact, but it stayed right over the middle.The home run allowed Salazar to pitch with the lead the entire way. He didnt allow a runner past first base through the first five innings, striking out Alex Gordon twice along the way. And when he seemed to falter in the oppressive weather in the sixth, with Salvador Perez driving in a run and Kendrys Morales scoring on a wild pitch, Salazar still managed to escape the inning.He gaave up a sacrifice fly in the seventh before Kyle Crockett finished the frame.ddddddddddddMost of the Indians offense came from the same kind of small ball that carried the AL Central-rival Royals to the World Series title last season. They scored a run in the second on a single, a walk and two sacrifices, then added three more in the fifth on a double, three singles, a walk and a fielders choice.It was a nice way to rebound after Cleveland blew a late lead in a 7-3 loss the previous night,I was really pleased the way we handled it, Francona said.STATS AND STREAKSIndians OF Erik Gonzalez had a single in the third for his first career hit. ... Salazar has won seven straight, a career best. ... Lindor has hit 24 career homers. Nineteen of them have been solo shots. ...
