  Minor took a no-decision against Cleveland on Tuesday after allowing three runs on three hits and three walks while striking out three across 5.1 innings. Minor got off to a solid start, retiring 10 consecutive batters while holding Cleveland hitless until the fifth inning, when David Naylor struck with a single. Minor reentered for the sixth frame and ran into trouble, loading the bases before handing the ball over to the bullpen with the Royals leading 3-0. Unfortunately, a fielding error by Nicky Lopez and an RBI single by Harold Ramirez allowed all three of his runners to score. The left-hander will bring a 5.23 ERA and 1.32 WHIP into his next projected start at home Sunday against the White Sox.
