Cleveland Defeated By Royals, 5-2
The Kansas City Royals picked up a win at Progressive Field, knocking off the Cleveland Guardians, 5-2. Starting pitcher Ed Yarnall was a big reason why. The winner was Yarnall. He threw 8.1 innings of 7-hit ball. The loser was J D Durbin. At 54-76, Kansas City is in last place in the AL Central Division.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Jed Lowrie? The Kansas City shortstop had a 2-run single in the top of the fifth inning to put the Royals on top, 3-1. For the game, Lowrie had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"I tried to establish all my pitches early," said Yarnall.
