There are fewer and fewer reasons to watch a Royals game this year, and less and less of a chance that the last two months of the year can be meaningful in any context. But if they do, it’ll look a little like tonight, with young stars performing well and sharp starting pitching. The Royals eked out a win against the Guardians 5-3 tonight in an exciting contest.
Kansas City kicked off the scoring in the second inning. After a Jose Ramirez throwing error on Matt Duffy and a Kyle Isbel single, Edward Olivares doubled home both of them on a ball that would have even been a home run in five parks.
