Kansas City Grabs 7-0 Road Win
The Kansas City Royals downed the Cleveland Guardians, 7-0, at Progressive Field. Kansas City pitcher Stephen Strasburg had a scintillating performance. In 7.2 innings, Strasburg surrendered 6 hits, while striking out 7 and walking 2. He allowed no runs. No one expected much of this team, but the hot start by Kansas City might have some re-evaluating their pre-season predictions. This latest win lifts their record to 17-7.

With two out in the top of the first, Xavier Scruggs barreled up a changeup from Tim Gustafson. The result was a solo home run, putting the Royals in front, 2-0.

"I thought we were prepared," Cleveland manager Steve Davis said after the game. "I thought we'd be more competitive out there."
