Guardians Lose to Royals, 8-1
The Kansas City Royals downed the Cleveland Guardians, 8-1, at Kauffman Stadium. Stellar pitching by Dylan Cease had a lot to do with it. The right-hander, who finished 3rd in the AL in strikeouts with 245 last year, handcuffed his opponent all game. Cease, now 6-6, was the winner. In 6.1 innings, he gave up 5 hits, while striking out 5, walking 1, and allowing 1 run. The Kansas City win streak is now 4 games.

Mark Canha had a big 2-run double for the Royals in the bottom of the second inning. With Kansas City leading 2-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a sinker from 36-year old right-handed pitcher Kyle Gibson and swatted a double to left-center. It was his 4th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Royals ahead, 4-0.

"The boys were really swinging the bats today," winning manager Jim H said.
