KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Danny Salazar has no idea why he seems to handle the Kansas City Royals so easily.Perhaps its because hes such an aggressive pitcher and they have such an aggressive lineup.The Indians right-hander went right after the Royals in his third outing against them this season, shutting them down into the seventh inning in leading Cleveland to a 7-3 victory.They like to swing a lot, said Salazar (11-3), who tossed 7 2/3 shutout innings against Kansas City in a 7-1 victory in early May, and allowed one run over eight innings in a 6-1 win last month.You really have to mix your pitches.He did that nicely, striking out seven and walking one over 6 2/3 innings.He did a really good job of keeping them off the scoreboard, for the most part, Indians manager Terry Francona said. We really needed that bounce-back win.Mike Napoli hit a two-run homer in the first off Brian Flynn (1-1), and Carlos Santana drove in two runs off long reliever Dillon Gee, as the Indians snapped a five-game skid at Kauffman Stadium.Francisco Lindor added a solo shot in the ninth for Cleveland.Youre facing an All-Star pitcher in Salazar, said Royals manager Ned Yost, who skippered the winning club last week. Hes not an All-Star for nothing. Hes tough.The Flynn-Gee combo got the call for the Royals in place of ineffective fifth starter Chris Young. Flynn lasted 2 2/3 innings in his first start since August 2014, while Gee went the next 5 1/3 innings.Then again, Cy Young would have had a tough time matching Salazar on another hot, humid night.He didnt allow a runner past first base through the first five innings, striking out Alex Gordon twice along the way. He seemed to falter in the oppressive weather in the sixth, when Salvador Perez drove in a run and Kendrys Morales scored on a wild pitch, but managed to escape the inning.He gave up a sacrifice fly in the seventh before Kyle Crockett finished the inning.Salazar pitched with the lead the entire way after Napolis homer in the first inning, his 21st of the year just skirting inside the left-field foul pole. But the rest of the Indians offense came from the same kind of small ball that carried the AL Central-rival Royals to the World Series title last season.They scored a run in the second on a single, a walk and two sacrifices. The division-leaders added three more in the fifth on a double, three singles, a walk and a fielders choice.It was a nice way to rebound after Cleveland blew a late lead in a 7-3 loss the previous night,I was really pleased the way we handled it, Francona said.STATS AND STREAKSIndians OF Erik Gonzalez had a single in the third for his first career hit. ... Salazar has won seven straight, a career best. ... Lindor has hit 24 career homers. Nineteen have been solo shots. ...

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Adam Peaty and James Guy have put the USA and Australia on notice that the British swimming team is ready to take them on at Tokyo 2020.After helping Team GB to its best performance at a Games since 1908, the pair believe they can do better than their combined haul of a gold and three silvers, break more records and reach new heights.Britain finished a massive 27 podium places behind leaders USA in the swimming medal table but the retirement of Michael Phelps must be of some encouragement to the standout teams rivals.Australia, disappointed with its teams performance, was only four ahead of Team GBs total of six medals -- made up of one gold and five silvers -- and represents a more realistic target.Guy, who won relay silvers in the mens 4x100 metre medley and 4x200m freestyle, said: USA are obviously the main ones [rivals] but even Texas is three times bigger than the UK [in area not population].In the past few years we have been a bit off but we have been getting stronger and stronger since 2012, and we are young team coming through.We can go to Tokyo and dominate. Why cant we? Were still in our late teens, early 20s and hopefully in Tokyo we will be the team to beat.Peaty has certainly looked primed to add to his gold in the 100m breaststroke and 4x100m relay silver. The 21-year-old was also confident of setting new world records after twice breaking the 100m breaststroke mark he held going into the Games.We are not scared of anyone and thats what we take into our swims, he said. We dont really care who is left or right beside us -- USA, Michael Phelps. We just stick to our own process and enjoyy the arena.ddddddddddddThe hard work is coming through now and hopefully over the next few years we will continue to improve.Peatys Project 56 -- the work he has done with his coach to take his 100m breaststroke record under 57 seconds -- is already well under way. The triple world champion set global records of 57.55 seconds in the heats and 57.13 seconds in the final. But he went even faster than that in the 4x100m medley relay with an unofficial time of 56.59.It probably didnt count, no, [but] its definitely possible. I love to push every day and hopefully in the end, in another Olympic final, that will push me to a new barrier.These next six weeks are all about relaxing, refocusing and seeing where I can make those extra gains. Id love to give you a date [for going under 57 seconds]. We dont know what the next year is going to bring.There was one thing Peaty was already sure of, his commitment to competing at the top level in the 200m breaststroke again. He didnt want to split his focus here but has a plan to build his strength to compete at that distance in Tokyo -- and is already looking to break the long-course world record that was set by Japans Akihiro Yamaguchi in 2012.I will start that [200m] back up now, Peaty said. Its been a while since I have done one so its going to be a bit painful for a few months but its definitely achievable. [The record of] 2 minutes 7.01 seconds is fast but its a bit old now and breaststroke has moved on. Its a completely new scale now so well see. ' ' '
