Cleveland Dealt 7-5 Defeat
The 2025 season is off to a good start for the Kansas City Royals. The hometown Royals knocked off the Cleveland Guardians, 7-5, at Kauffman Stadium. Kansas City second baseman David Hamilton paced his team to the win.

Kansas City took a 6-5 lead on J.T. Realmuto's 1st double of the season. The 2-run double, which Realmuto hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Cleveland pitcher Joel Payamps visibly frustrated.

"Our guys are never satisfied," said Kansas City manager Jim H.
