KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- In the span of three innings, the Indians Tyler Naquin homered to left field, sent a two-run double down the right-field line and connected on a three-run homer over the center-field wall.Talk about using all fields.The rookie outfielders career-high six RBI, along with three more homers by teammates and a stellar outing by Carlos Carrasco, led Cleveland to an 11-4 romp over the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday.I mean, we talk about it from time to time with young players, its fun to watch what they turn into, Indians manager Terry Francona said. Hes a really strong kid and hes playing with a lot of confidence.Its easy to have confidence when the rest of the lineup is producing, too.Mike Napoli went deep for the second straight day. Jason Kipnis and Carlos Santana also hit home runs. And the seven-run fifth inning that featured Naquins second homer basically put the game away.This clubhouse helps a lot, the team chemistry, the guys in here, Naquin said.Carrasco (7-3) was cruising along by the time Naquin finished his heroics, allowing one hit in six shutout innings -- a double by Cheslor Cuthbert in the fourth that he followed with back-to-back strikeouts.Carrasco walked two in the sixth for his only other baserunners.Clevelands first four homers were off Ian Kennedy (6-8), whose bizarre pitching line included eight strikeouts and only one walk. But it was the ninth straight game Kennedy has served up a homer, and he has allowed 26 of them this season, tied with teammate Chris Young for most in the majors.Kansas City scored all its runs off reliever Austin Adams in the eighth.The division-leading Indians, who are 4-5 against the hapless Minnesota Twins this season, improved to 26-8 against the rest of the AL Central. They are 8-5 against the Royals.For the second day in a row, a first-inning homer -- this time by Kipnis, his 16th -- gave them instant offense. Naquin added a solo shot in the third before adding a two-run double in the fourth.Cleveland put away the game with a seven-run fifth inning.With a heat index of 105 degrees at first pitch, Carrasco coolly sliced up a Kansas City offense that scored seven runs in a single inning in the opener. The right-hander retired 17 of the first 18 batters he faced around his lone single, and he struck out six while throwing just 84 pitches.He won for the fifth time in six starts and improved to 6-1 in eight starts in Kansas City.Kennedy wound up allowing seven runs and six hits in 4 1/3 innings for the Royals. It was a rare poor start for him at Kauffman Stadium; he entered the game with an AL-best 2.11 ERA at home.I guess any time you give up a home run, you try to justify it a little bit, Kennedy said. The ball was flying a little bit, but theyre homers. The curveball to Naquin -- thats a second time Ive given up a home run to a left-hander to left field. You dont see that very often.PRESIDENTIAL VISITThe Royals will meet President Barack Obama at the White House on Thursday during a ceremony to honor their World Series title. It will be the fifth president that manager Ned Yost has met: Jimmy Carter and George Bush used to come to Braves games when Yost coached in Atlanta, George W. Bush threw out the first pitch on opening day once, and Bill Clinton greeted the champion Braves at the White House in 1996. So this will be my fifth president, Yost said, which is kind of cool.TRAINERS ROOMRoyals: LF Alex Gordon got the day off as he continues to battle out of a season-long slump. Hes hitting just .200 through 62 games after signing a $72 million, four-year deal in the offseason. He missed several weeks with a fractured wrist in a collision with 3B Mike Moustakas.Indians: OF Michael Brantley was expected to have an MRI exam on his ailing right shoulder Wednesday, though the results were not yet available. Brantley experienced a setback while on a rehab assignment.UP NEXTThe Royals open a three-game set Friday night against Texas.

Blackwood, 28, has played the last three seasons in the San Diego Padres system, including the past two summers with Class AA San Antonio of the Texas League. Boomers assistant coach Luc Longley has praised the professionalism of star centre Andrew Bogut who has gone from an unlikely 2016 Olympian to a likely game-breaker for Australia in Rio.Bogut made a successful albeit brief return to basketball in a warm-up game for the Boomers against China on Sunday.Six weeks ago that seemed like a long shot as the disconsolate centres NBA season ended in game five of the finals with a knee injury.Im not great at math, but six to eight weeks minimum is what Ive been told, the then Golden State centre said. Its (the Games) very unlikely at this point, to be honest.Bogut had to watch on as his Warriors lost to Cleveland in the seven game series before finding out he was to be traded to the Dallas Mavericks.But despite the tumult he did everything that was required to have a shot at what would be a likely third and last Olympics.We didnt really know and neither did he, Longley said aboout whether Bogut would actually make it back in time for the Rio Games.ddddddddddddHe has been very professional about the way he has rehabilitated and taken care of himself.He was very determined to play. He sees this is going to be his last go around and this is a big deal and how important it is for us. That professionalism has paid off.While Bogut brings defensive cachet to the team he also brings the biggest of big game experience, having played in consecutive NBA Finals series, including the 2014/15 championship win by the Warriors.Hes a world class centre and everybody knows that so if you carry him into the Games you have more confidence, Longley said.He gives us more options with what we can do on the floor and he is just a very good basketball brain. He helps us on every angle. ' ' '
