 CLEVELAND (AP) - C.C. Sabathia began paying back the Cleveland Indians. Sabathia pitched seven shutout innings in his first start since signing a two-year, $17.75 million contract extension on Friday night as the Indians beat Kansas City 6-0, handing the Royals their ninth straight loss.
Sabathia (2-0) had his third straight strong start since being activated from the disabled list on April 16. The left-hander was never in trouble in holding the staggering Royals (5-18) to three hits. He walked one and struck out four.
Kansas City has lost nine in a row for the first time since 2001.
