CLEVELAND (AP) — Kansas City’s Mark Teahen hit two home runs in the second game to lead the Royals to a 8-4 win over Cleveland and a doubleheader sweep of the Indians on Saturday night.

Ryan Shealy homered and had a career-high four hits in the nightcap after Teahen had three hits in an 8-3 win in the first game.

Teahen went 5-for-9 with four RBIs in the sweep to improve his career average against Cleveland to .323 (62-for-192) with six homers and 26 RBIs.

The Indians allowed all fans at game one to go to the box office and exchange their ticket stub for a ticket to the second game. They saw the Royals take two in one day from Cleveland for the first time since July 2, 1984.

Robinson Tejada (2-2) gave up one run and two hits over five innings in his first start after 23 relief appearances for the Royals, who claimed him on waivers from Texas on June 24. It was the right-hander’s 47th career start — first since July 22, 2007, for the Rangers against Cleveland.

Joakim Soria came on with two runners on and two outs in the ninth, walked pinch-hitter Shin-soo Choo, then got Travis Hafner to ground out for his 37th save in 40 chances.

Teahen connected for a solo homer and two-run shot, his 14th, off Bryan Bullington (0-1).

Bullington gave up eight hits and six runs over 4 2-3 innings in his first start for Cleveland, which claimed him on waivers from Pittsburgh on July 10. The right-hander was the top overall pick in the 2002 draft by the Pirates, missed the entire 2006 season after shoulder surgery, and fell to 0-3 in three career starts.

Miguel Olivo had three hits and three RBIs in the second game for Kansas City.

In the first game, Zack Greinke (11-10) waited out a 2-hour, 14-minute rain delay at the start, then pitched six solid innings to beat Cleveland for the first time in three starts since Aug. 21. He gave up three runs and nine hits and matched Gil Meche for the team lead in wins.

Indians first-game starter Fausto Carmona (8-7) gave up seven runs and 11 hits in 6 1-3 innings — then flung his hat and glove into the stands after being lifted by manager Eric Wedge in the midst of the Royals’ four-run seventh.

“It was a mistake,” Carmona said of displaying his frustration. “I wasn’t showing (Wedge) up, it was more about being mad at myself.”

Ross Gload and Alberto Callaspo each had two hits and two RBIs while Mitch Maier singled in his first at bat since being hit in the face by a pitch from Indians left-hander Zach Jackson on Aug. 20.

Jamey Carroll and Andy Marte had RBI singles and Choo drove in a run with a sacrifice fly for Cleveland.
