[irish_blue69]

CLEVELAND (AP) -- The first 10 Cleveland Indians to bat Sunday reached base and scored during an 11-run first inning against Kansas City Royals starter Luke Hudson.
It was the largest first inning by the Indians since they scored 11 against the Baltimore Orioles on July 6, 1954. The team record for a first inning is 14 runs against the Philadelphia Athletics on June 18, 1950.

The 12th man to bat in the inning, Travis Hafner, hit a grand slam to put Cleveland ahead 11-0. It was Hafner's sixth grand slam of the season, tying the record set by Don Mattingly of the New York Yankees in 1987.
Hudson gave up 11 runs, 10 earned, on eight hits and three walks in one-third of an inning.
The right-hander walked Grady Sizemore and Hafner around a single by Jason Michaels to start the game. Victor Martinez hit a two-run single and Shin-Soo Choo had a two-run double to make it 4-0. Ryan Garko singled and Jhonny Peralta was credited with an RBI when his grounder was thrown away by shortstop Angel Berroa.
Joe Inglett singled to load the bases and Andy Marte's walk forced in a run to make it 6-0. Sizemore singled off Hudson's glove to score Peralta. After Michaels struck out, Hafner homered to right, giving him 104 RBIs this season.
Martinez doubled to finish Hudson, who was replaced by Todd Wellemeyer. The right-hander got Choo to ground out and Garko to fly to left to end the rally.
