Guardians Rally to Eke Out Win
Despite a great performance by Kansas City first baseman Brandon Thomas, the Cleveland Guardians defeated the Royals by the score of 10-9 in 11 innings at Kauffman Stadium. Thomas was 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles. He drove in 6 runs and scored once. Drew Goodwin, credited with the win in relief, is now 5-2. He allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2 innings. Jim Berns earned the save for Cleveland, his 1st.

Cleveland used the clutch hitting of Chris Roberts to capture the win. The shortstop drilled a run-scoring double in the top of the 11th inning to give the Guardians the lead, 10-9. For the game, Roberts had 1 single and 2 doubles in 6 at-bats.

"That was your kind of game, if you like high drama," said Guardians manager Danny Jaime.

The win puts Cleveland at 38-69.
