| (MySportsbook) - Right-hander Carl Pavano gives it another try with Cleveland tonight after a miserable first start, when the Indians visit Kauffman Stadium for the second test of a three-game series with the Kansas City Royals.

He spent four years with the Yankees and ba |

| (MySportsbook) - Dominican-born right-hander Fausto Carmona will try again to reach the level he performed on in 2007 when the Cleveland Indians open a three-game series with the host Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium.

He opened 2009 with an 8-5 loss on April 8 at Texas, allowing seven hits and six runs in five innings while walking two and striking out fou |
