Royals Get Past Cleveland, 3-2
In a tight tilt between the Kansas City Royals and the Cleveland Guardians, Walker Buehler was the deciding factor. The Kansas City right-hander spearheaded the 3-2 win. Daniel Coulombe snagged the win in relief. He goes to 6-2 on the season. Alex Wells suffered the loss. With the win, Kansas City pushed its record to 81-60.

Kansas City got a knockout punch from Matt Chapman. The third baseman hammered a solo home run in the bottom of the 13th inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"We earned that one," said Chapman.
