Guardians Come Up Short at Kansas City, 7-6
Kansas City third baseman R.J. Lower picked up 3 ribbies while helping his team beat back the Cleveland Guardians, 7-6. Kansas City pitcher Danny Nunez got the win, upping his record to 3-2. Nick Wise got the loss. Kansas City is now 63-69, while Cleveland is 52-78.

The game was at a stalemate until designated hitter Ryan Miller came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Cleveland pitcher Jason Valenzuela, he hit a 1-2 fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Kansas City on top, 7-6.

"We'll take this win and move on," said Lower.
