    Every fifth day, Indians manager Terry Francona knows he'll get innings, maximum effort and nothing but smiles from his No. 1 starter.

    And he usually gets something more important from Justin Masterson -- a win.

    "There's an expectation," Francona said. "He's earned that."

    Masterson managed to hang around for 6 1/3 innings and win for the sixth time at home, leading Cleveland to a 6-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday night.
