Guardians Edge Past Royals, 5-4
The Cleveland Guardians topped the Kansas City Royals, 5-4, in American League action at Kauffman Stadium. The game was highlighted by the performance of Cleveland pitcher Ben Sedlacek. Cleveland reliever Chris Thurner was the winner. His record is now 6-2. The losing pitcher was Joe Noonan. Stanford Placard, credited with the save, is now 1 for 1 in save opportunities.

The outcome might have been different for Cleveland, had it not been for Aaron Matthews, the two-time Great Glove Award winner . Matthews stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put Cleveland up, 5-4. For the game, he was 2 for 4, including 1 double and 1 single.

"We'll pop the top on a cold beverage and get back to work tomorrow," Sedlacek said.

Cleveland has now won 3 in a row.
