Royals Take Down Guardians, 4-3
The Kansas City Royals had to overcome a fine effort from Cleveland pitcher Jake Wahlstrom to grab a narrow 4-3 win at Progressive Field. Wahlstrom went 6.2 innings and allowed 2 runs. Kansas City reliever Seth Eaton picked up the win, upping his record to 2-0. Edgar Gomez absorbed the loss. The last-place Royals sport a record of 71-79.

Kansas City used a clutch hit from Kyle Mellecker to get the win. The center fielder drilled a solo home run in the top of the 13th inning to put the Royals ahead, 4-3. It was his only hit in 2 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"This is a resilient bunch," said Kansas City manager Connor Gould.
