Royals rally late to win first game of the season over Guardians

For the first time in their last ten home games, the Royals came out winners. Dating back to last season, the Royals had lost three games in a row, and their last nine games inside Kauffman Stadium.

Saturday wasn’t looking to good as they fell behind 3-1 through five innings. But Salvador Perez hit his second RBI single of the day to pull the Royals back within a run. After loading up the bases, MJ Melendez would end the 6th inning with a popout.

The bottom of the 7th is when the heroics came. Maikel Garcia led off the inning with a laser off the left field foul pole to tie the game up.
