The Kansas City Royals secured a 2-1 win over the Cleveland Guardians after a sixth-inning rally with back-to-back triples and a sacrifice fly. Pitching played a key role in the victory, with Sam Long, John Schreiber, and James McArthur making impressive contributions. The contentious umpiring decision that got Royals manager Matt Quatraro ejected seemed to spark a resurgence for Kansas City.

Both teams had their fair share of missed opportunities, with the Guardians leaving runners stranded and the Royals failing to capitalize on leadoff singles. The Guardians made roster moves, including a deal with LHP Matthew Boyd, and placed OF Will Brennan on the injured list.

Up next, Cleveland RHP Triston McKenzie takes on Kansas City RHP Alec Marsh in the upcoming game.
