CLEVELAND GUARDIANS AT KANSAS CITY ROYALS
GAME ID: 1838 - SUNDAY, JUNE 30TH , 2024 - GAME LOG
  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
Cleveland Guardians (33-51) 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5 0
Kansas City Royals (39-48) 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 X 1 3 0
Kansas City Topples Cleveland, 1-0
The Royals faced a stiff challenge from Cleveland pitcher Daniel Espino, but persevered to claim a win at Kauffman Stadium. The final score was 1-0. Espino went 6.2 innings and allowed 1 run. DL Hall converted his 1st save in 1 tries. The Royals now have a mark of 39-48.

Had Nelson Velazquez not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Velazquez hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 1-0, in favor of the Royals.

"Both teams played hard," said Kansas City manager Patrick Ochs.
