Despite yesterday’s loss, the Royals are pleased with how their series in Cleveland went:
The Royals would have liked a sweep, but they’re leaving Cleveland just one game behind the Guardians for the American League Central lead with 29 games left. By briefly tying them atop the division with Tuesday’s win, the Royals clinched the season series against the Guardians, as they are now ahead 7-3 with three more games to play against them next week in Kansas City.
“Every time we play a series, we want to win the series,” manager Matt Quatraro said.
