CLEVELAND — Greg Holland struck out the top of Cleveland’s order to strand the tying run at second base and Maikel Franco hit a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning to give the Kansas City Royals a 3-2 win over the Indians in just the third major league game decided by the debated extra-inning runner rule.
Holland fanned César Hernández, José Ramírez and Francisco Lindor for the unique save.
Jorge Soler and Salvador Pérez hit back-to-back homers in the first for Kansas City.
Royals right-hander Brady Singer pitched five solid innings in his major league debut.
