Kansas City Wins, 4-3, Over Guardians
Cleveland got a terrific performance from pitcher Sergio Lizarraga, but it wasn't enough to beat the Kansas City Royals. Kansas City won the Jacobs Field contest, 4-3. Lizarraga threw 7.0 innings of 1-hit ball for the losing team. Ty Hartshorn picked up the win with 7.1 innings of work. He allowed 3 runs on 6 hits, while walking 3 and striking out 4. On the season, he is now 10-8. The second-place Royals now have a record of 67-52.

Kansas City used a timely hit from Sean Casey to get the win. The first baseman stroked a 2-run double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Royals ahead, 4-3. It was his only hit in 2 at-bats, but it was a difference-maker.

Casey called the win "a collective effort."
