Kansas City Grabs 7-3 Road Win
The timely hitting of Leonardo Bernal helped the Kansas City Royals down the Cleveland Guardians, 7-3. Bernal went 2 for 4 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for the Royals. Matthew Thompson earned the win. Brad Carnes, who finished 4th in the AL in ERA with 2.92 in 2030, took the loss for Cleveland. Ismael Cuellar earned the save for Kansas City.

Kansas City took a 7-3 lead on Bernal's 1st home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which he hit off Nate Tawiah in the top of the eighth, propelled Kansas City to the win.

"I play this game for myself and my family, but of course it's always nice when we can win," said Bernal.

Losses have been rare for the Guardians, who are now 11-4.
