Kansas City, MO (Sports Network) - Jake Westbrook posted his first victory since April 2008 with six solid frames, as Cleveland blitzed reeling Kansas City, 8-2, at Kauffman Stadium. Frank Gore Jersey. Westbrook (1-2), who missed most of the last two years recovering from Tommy John surgery, yielded just one run on five hits with two strikeouts and two walks. "Its nice to get that first win and pitch well doing it," Westbrook said. "It wasnt real pretty, but I put up some zeroes and only gave up that one run. I had some baserunners all night but made some pitches when I had to." Russell Branyan hit two home runs with three hits and three runs batted in and Austin Kearns scored three times and drove in a run for the Indians, who have won two straight after five straight loses. Brian Bannister (1-3) gave up four runs on six hits with six strikeouts and three walks over six innings to take the loss. Billy Butler drove in both Royals runs in defeat. Kansas City has lost six games in a row. "For me personally with the walks, its killing me because of the way the home runs are coming," Bannister said. "Im giving them up once in every seven fly balls, which is the highest its ever happened for me. Ive given up one home run in each game, so I get a little tentative and I hate pitching that way." Branyan hit his first blast following a Kearns walk in the second for a 2-0 edge, but the Royals cut the deficit in half thanks to Butlers run-scoring single off the glove of Jhonny Peralta at third and into left field. In the fourth, Travis Hafner walked and moved to second on Kearns single to left. One out later, Peralta drove home both runs with a double to left. The Indians gained some breathing room with a three-run seventh to make the score 7-1. Grady Sizemore walked with one out and moved to second on Shin-Soo Choos single. Sizemore barely stole third, which was an important play as he scored on Hafners groundout. Kearns greeted new pitcher Josh Rupe with a run- scoring single to left, and Mark Grudzielanek eventually walked to force in a run for the six-run lead. The Royals scored their final run in the home half of the eighth when Butler followed Scott Podsedniks triple with an RBI groundout to second. Branyans second home run of the game capped the scoring in the ninth.

Authentic Aaron Hernandez Jersey. The game centered around Griffin and Minnesotas Kevin Love -- the NBAs top two double-double generators. Love tallied 18 points and 18 boards to secure his franchise-record 42nd consecutive double-double, and 51st of the season. Patrick Chung Jersey. Horton was injured at 5:07 of the first period of Game 3 against Vancouver. Horton sent a pass from the center of the ice to the left wing at the Canucks blue line and was hit late by Canucks defenseman Aaron Rome, who was assessed a five-minute major for interference and a game misconduct.
