Guardians Win Thriller, 9-5
People outside the ballpark no doubt heard the roar of the crowd as the winning run crossed the plate.

Adam Duvall had a 4-RBI game, during Cleveland's 9-5 triumph over the Kansas City Royals. Duvall contributed 2 singles and 1 home run to the cause. Cleveland pitcher Sam Hentges got the win. He's now 6-3. Dylan Lee was tagged with the loss.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With two out, Duvall hit a slider from Carlos Hernandez for a grand slam home run. The Guardians, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"We'll savor this win," Duvall told the Cleveland News, "then get ready for the next game."

Cleveland is in 4th place in the American League Central Division with a record of 25-38.
