Royals Earn 8-6 Win Against Guardians
The Kansas City Royals knocked off the Cleveland Guardians, 8-6, at Kauffman Stadium. Dairon Blanco was a big reason Kansas City won. The center fielder went 5 for 8 with a home run, a double, and 3 singles. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. With the win, the Royals have a record of 65-75.

The game came to a dramatic end. In the bottom of the 16th, with Kansas City trailing 6-5, Blanco hit a fastball from Reynaldo Lopez for a 3-run home run, giving the Royals the walk-off win.

"I'm glad I could get it done when the game was in the balance," Blanco said in his postgame press conference.
