Jose Abreu clubbed a solo shot and Alexi Ramirez went 4-for-5 with two RBI and scored three times. John Danks fired a complete game, giving up the only run with two outs in the ninth as he earned his seventh win. Kris Medlen got tagged for seven runs on 11 hits in five-and-two-thirds innings to fall to 3-and-1. Kendrys Morales drove in the lone run for Kansas City, which had won nine of its previous 12.
