Pilkington pauperizes Potentates 4-0, secures series sweep

The Guardians completed their sweep Wednesday afternoon, blanking the Royals 4-0.

The early innings were dominated by pitching. Konnor Pilkington came out firing, striking out five batters and keeping the Royals off the board in the first three innings, generating ten whiffs in the process. Meanwhile, Brad Keller managed to keep the BABIP gods at bay and retired the first seven batters faced. But Cleveland got on the board in the third. Following a one out single by Richie Palacios and a two out walk to Steven Kwan, Amed Rosario smacked a single up the middle to score Palacios.
