KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Nelson Velázquez hit a three-run homer, Angel Zerpa shut down Cleveland in relief of Zack Greinke and the Royals rolled to a 6-2 win that completed a three-game sweep. Zerpa got the final out of the fourth inning and allowed just three hits the rest of the way in earning the win. Bobby Witt Jr. and Edward Oliveras also drove in runs for Kansas City, which heads out on its final trip having won six of its past seven. Lucas Giolito allowed four runs, three of them earned, on seven hits and three walks in 5 1/3 innings to take the loss for Cleveland.
