The final score: Guardians 17, Royals 3.
That’s almost one Cleveland run for every dollar it costs to park at Kauffman Stadium!
Kansas City is still 2-1 and in first place in the AL Central, albeit with a -11 run differential, and it is just one game. It’s important to keep that in mind. But with that being said, it was an absolutely horrendous day for the much-talked-about 2018 Royals draft class of pitchers. Kris Bubic, Jackson Kowar, and Brady Singer all made their season debuts and were promptly lit up like Christmas trees by a Cleveland offense that had scored 1 run in its first 18 innings of the year.
