Santana Helps Guardians Defeat Royals, 12-7
The Cleveland Guardians defeated the Kansas City Royals by the score of 12-7, with the biggest share of the credit going to designated hitter Carlos Santana. Santana was 4-4 with a home run and 2 doubles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 5 for the Guardians on the day. Joel Payamps earned the win after being summoned from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on 2 hits in 1.1 innings. He upped his record to 2-1. The loss drops Kansas City to 8-7.

Masyn Winn had a big run-scoring triple for the Guardians in the bottom of the third inning. With Cleveland leading 3-2 and a runner on 1st, he got a fastball from Walker Buehler, who finished 4th in the AL in wins with 15 last year, and swatted a triple to right-center. It was his 1st triple of the season, and more importantly, it put the Guardians ahead, 4-2.

"Winning never gets dull," said Santana.
