KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Royals manager Ned Yost watched as Jarrod Dyson hit a long flyball, and knew thats about as far as he could hit it. "Thats a Jarrod Dyson cycle, I would call it -- a single, double, triple and a ball to the wall," Yost said. "Thats as close to the cycle as hes ever going to get I think." Dyson and Alex Gordon each had three hits and Alcides Escobar drove in three runs, and the Kansas City Royals beat the Cleveland Indians 8-3 Tuesday night to snap a five-game losing streak. Dyson, a speedster, has not homered in 291 at-bats in the majors and has only four in seven minor league seasons. He came close in the third inning when he sent Indians right-fielder Shin-Soo Choo to the warning track. "I didnt think I got all of it," Dyson said. "I guess thats a Dyson cycle because I dont swing for pop, so thats as probably as close as youll see them go." Escobar had two hits for his 34th multihit game, raising his average to a team-leading .307. "Hes been doing that all year," Yost said. Chris Getz had two hits and drove in two runs, while Gordon contributed two doubles and leads the league with 36 two-base hits. The Royals scored all their runs in the first three innings. "Alex is starting to pull the ball more now, which is good for us and bad for the opposition because hes got tremendous power," Yost said. "We had good offensive output up and down the lineup the whole way. Thats key we havent been able to put together a succession of hits like that where we can tack on some runs and get a big inning." Luke Hochevar settled down after giving up three runs over the second and third innings. One run scored on Johnny Damons infield single in the second when Hochevar failed to cover first base. "Thats frustrating," Hochevar said. "You cant give away runs. Thats extremely upsetting." In the third inning, Asdrubal Cabrera scored on Hochevars wild pitch. Hochevar (7-9) gave up three runs on seven hits and three walks, while striking out six. The Royals broke open the game with a five-run third, which was highlighted by Getzs two-run double and Escobars RBI triple. The five-run third was one shy of the clubs biggest inning this season. Indians starter Derek Lowe failed to finish the third and balked in a run. Lowe (8-10) was pulled after allowing seven runs on eight hits, two walks and a balk in 2 1-3 innings. "There wasnt much life to his pitches," Indians manager Manny Acta said. "His sinker only got two groundballs. Even the ones they didnt hit hard got through. It put us in a big hole." In his past three starts, Lowe is 0-3 with a 15.88 ERA, allowing 20 earned runs and 23 hits in 11 1-3 innings. Since starting the season 6-1 with a 2.05 ERA on May 15, Lowe is 2-9 and his ERA has climbed to 5.52. Lorenzo Cain, who also had two hits, had a run-producing single in the first. In the second Escobars single to right scored Getz and Dyson. NOTES: The Royals finished July with a 7-19 record. ... Choo struck out four times. ...In a minor league trade, the Indians acquired 1B-OF Lars Anderson from the Boston Red Sox for Double-A Akron RHP Steven Wright. Anderson has appeared in 48 games with Boston in the past three seasons. He spent most of this season with Triple-A Pawtucket, hitting .259. ...The Indians failed to make a big league deal before the deadline. "Everybody would like to add help, but Im not disappointed because I didnt know what Id lose," Indians manager Manny Acta said. "I was not anticipating much. Were in the thick of things and we have no veteran guys we can move." The Indians entered Tuesday in third place in the AL Central, five games behind the Chicago White Sox. "If you cant make up five games in 60 days, you dont deserve to be in the playoffs," Acta said. ...With the Royals trading closer RHP Jonathan Broxton to the Reds for two minor league pitchers, manager Ned Yost said RHP Greg Holland would be used as the closer. ... The Royals played a man short and will bring up a reliever Wednesday to take Broxtons roster spot. Authentic Blackhawks Jersey . Joel Hanrahan made it about as dramatic as it can get.

Jones continued his consistent play with three hits and his 14th home run, Nick Markakis added a two-run homer and the Orioles matched a season high with their fifth straight win, 6-5 over the Washington Nationals on Saturday night.One day after the NHL and NHL Players Association reached an agreement on an accelerated compliance buyout, the Montreal Canadiens placed Scott Gomez on unconditional waivers on Wednesday. Should he clear waivers on Thursday at Noon et, Montreal will be able to buy him out. Last weekend, the Canadiens told Gomez to stay home until he can be bought out in the summer in order to clear $7.3 million in salary cap space for next season. The Canadiens did not want Gomez to play this season in case he suffered an injury that would not allow the team to complete the buyout. "With where the cap is going to be next year, we had to buy out Scotts contract and the safest way to do that without risking him being injured was to send him home," said Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin on the weekend.dddddddddddd"Its the rules we have to play by." However, with the new buyout policy, teams can use up one buyout on one player with at least a $3 million average salary this season and incur a full cap hit, less the $900,000 for not burying him player in the minors, but suffer no cap hit next season or beyond.
