Guardians Drop Royals, 8-5
Behind the bravura of second baseman Andres Gimenez, the Cleveland Guardians topped the Kansas City Royals by the score of 8-5. Gimenez was 3 for 3 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 3 times for the Guardians. The winner in relief was Joey Cantillo. The left-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 1.2 innings. He now owns a record of 3-5. Emmanuel Clase earned the save for Cleveland, his 26th of the year.

Josh Naylor, who finished 5th in the AL in batting average with .317 last year, chipped in for Cleveland with a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the bottom of the fifth. For the game, the first baseman had 2 hits in 3 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 2 runs batted in.

"We were the better team today. Maybe that won't be the case next game, but we'll enjoy it for now," Naylor told the Cleveland News.

The Guardians now have a mark of 55-79.
