Kansas City Royals starter Ken Walker found his groove in his team's 9-4 win over the Cleveland Guardians. Juan Oramas got the save, his 1st in 3 chances. Kansas City is now 76-67, Cleveland 58-85.

Kansas City first baseman Joe Washington contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the fifth. With two down, he hit a fastball to center field for a 2-run single. It was his 151st hit of the season and put the Royals ahead, 6-2.

"I'm happy we won," said Walker. "That's first and foremost. My goal is for the team to win the day I pitch, however it's done."
