Guardians Beat Royals, 9-2
The Cleveland Guardians defeated the Kansas City Royals, 9-2. Second Baseman Gustavo Franco deserved a large share of the credit. Franco was 3-5 with a home run and a double, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for the Guardians. Matt Mattingly went 6.1 innings, allowing 1 run on 8 hits. The right-hander, who is tied for 10th in the AL with a 9.2 K/9 rate, struck out 4 and walked 1. With the win, he's now 2-2 this season. Cleveland bumps their record to 23-25 with the win.

In the top of the first, Franco had a solo home run for Cleveland. It was his 5th home run of the season and put the Guardians on top, 1-0.

"We'll need a much better effort, the next time out," said losing manager Connor Gould.
