Guardians Lose, 8-0
The Kansas City Royals went home winners at Progressive Field, thanks in large part to starter Mark Ashford. Ashford stifled the Cleveland Guardians, enabling Kansas City to grab the 8-0 win. Aaron Jernigan was credited with the save for Kansas City, his 2nd of the season. Cleveland has now lost 5 in a row.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Kyle Diaz? The Kansas City shortstop had a run-scoring single in the top of the second inning to put the Royals on top, 1-0. For the game, Diaz had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"I thought we were prepared," Cleveland manager Danny Jaime said after the game. "I thought we'd be more competitive out there."
