Royals, Indians tie

? Oddly enough, both starting pitchers were happy after Cleveland and Kansas City slugged their way to a 28-hit, 9-9 tie Tuesday.

Cleveland right-hander Anthony Reyes, who was shut down last September by a sore elbow, is encouraged that something new he’s trying will work. Kansas City’s Zack Greinke spent most of his three innings working on his changeup and thought it was coming along.

Alex Gordon hit a grand slam off struggling Cleveland reliever Edward Mujica, and Jhonny Peralta had three hits and four RBIs for the Indians before the game was called after 10 innings.
