Royals Take Tight Tangle
Good production from left fielder Pat Magness helped the Kansas City Royals topple the Cleveland Guardians, 10-9. Magness was 2-2 with a double and 4 walks. He drove in 3 runs for the Royals. The win went to Charlie Hamilton in relief. His record improves to 7-6. Chris R. Young took the loss. Kansas City is now 63-79, while Cleveland is 62-79.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With one out, Magness hit a slider from Chris R. Young for a run-scoring single. The Royals, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"Nothing is scripted in this game," said Magness.
