Kansas City Downed, 9-5, by Guardians
Dave García did all he could to help his team win. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to keep the Kansas City Royals from being beaten, 9-5, to the Cleveland Guardians at Kauffman Stadium. García was 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. Yonathan Ramirez earned the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The left-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 3 innings. His record is now 3-1. Angel Heredia, credited with the save, is now 4 for 10 in save opportunities.

Hugues Bertolucci drove in one run for Cleveland. The 24-year old center fielder had a key at-bat in the top of the eighth. With one out and runners on 1st and 3rd, he broke a 5-5 tie with a run-scoring ground out off Juan Garza. It was his 5th RBI of the season.

"We need to keep playing good baseball," Bertolucci told the Cleveland News.

The Guardians, at 74-88, inhabit 4th place in the American League Central Division.
