Guardians Score Late to Nip Royals, 3-2
In a low-scoring affair between the Cleveland Guardians and the Kansas City Royals, pitcher Malik Turner was the difference between victory and defeat. The Cleveland right-hander earned accolades for his stellar performance in the 3-2 Guardians win. Cleveland reliever Franklin Jinzo picked up the win, raising his record to 1-9. David Bailey was tagged with the loss. The Guardians move to 63-86 with the win, while the Royals drop to 65-84.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the 11th inning, when Cleveland designated hitter Jeff Bartlow, facing David Bailey, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Guardians the 3-2 win.

"Malik went out and did what we needed," said Cleveland manager Cody Wells.
