After making things interesting in the eighth inning, the Royals fell to the Cleveland Guardians, 7-3. It was Kansas City’s fifth loss of the road trip.
As has happened many times this season, a Royals starter allowed a run in the first inning. With one out and a base open, Jon Heasley threw a hittable pitch to the league-leader in RBIs — Jose Ramíez. The Cleveland slugger promptly ripped an RBI-single to center field to make it 1-0.
Kansas City managed to answer back in the top of the third on a solo shot from Emmanuel Rivera.
