Kansas City Defeated By Guardians, 3-2
Cleveland starter Jeffrey Springs pitched well against the Kansas City Royals at Progressive Field. The left-hander led his team to a win, 3-2. Cleveland has now won 4 straight.

Connor Wong had a big run-scoring double for the Guardians in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Cleveland leading 2-0 and a runner on 2nd, he got a fastball from Dylan Cease, who finished 3rd in the AL in strikeouts with 245 last year, and swatted a double to left. It was his 14th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Guardians ahead, 3-0.

Wong called the win "a collective effort."
