Guardians Get 5-4 Win Versus Kansas City
In a close game at Kauffman Stadium, the Cleveland Guardians edged the Kansas City Royals, 5-4. Cleveland catcher Jeff Lauf stood apart with his performance. He was 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 runs. The setback makes Kansas City 49-59.

Cleveland used the clutch hitting of Kevin Thomas to snag the win. The second baseman drilled a 3-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Guardians ahead, 5-4. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a crucial one.

"We found a way to get it done," Thomas said.
