KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Shin-Soo Choo put his slump behind him in a big way Friday night.

Choo hit three homers, including a grand slam, and the Cleveland Indians moved out of the AL Central basement with an 11-4 victory over the Kansas City Royals.

The 28-year-old right fielder, a native of South Korea, was batting just .162 (6 for 37) in his last 10 games before busting out of the rut with his sixth career multihomer game and a career-best seven RBIs.

"I missed so many fastballs," Choo said of his rough stretch. "I fouled them off or missed them. I have so many things on my mind. After a ground-ball double play on my first at-bat, I said before my second at-bat maybe I'll try just see the ball and swing at it. It worked."
