CLEVELAND (AP)– Terry Francona heard the boos from the home crowd, and the Cleveland Indians manager didn’t mind one bit.

CLEVELAND (AP) — For someone who just endured a beer bath, T.J. House was all smiles. House allowed three runs over 6 2/3 innings for his first major league win and the Cleveland Indians beat the Kansas City Royals 7-3 on Saturday night. House’s teammates celebrated the occasion by dousing him with beer, something the rookie left-hander didn’t mind one bit. “I got rolled into this little cart and they gave me a shower,” he said. “It was nice.
