Guardians, Royals Split Doubleheader Amid Playoff Race

News summary

After a rainout postponed their initial matchup, the Kansas City Royals and Cleveland Guardians split a doubleheader earlier in the week, with Kansas City taking the opener in extra innings and Cleveland winning the nightcap behind Steven Kwan's home run and Tanner Bibee's strong pitching. The doubleheader was marked by promotional events at Kauffman Stadium and was significant for both teams contending for an American League wild-card spot. Since then, the Guardians continued their momentum by defeating the Colorado Rockies 10-4, highlighted by Kyle Manzardo’s two home runs and Brayan Rocchio’s two-run triple. The Guardians have now won 13 of their last 19 games, recovering from an earlier 10-game losing streak. Key roster moves included Cleveland activating Gabriel Arias and Kansas City bringing back Hunter Harvey. The series and recent games have had major implications for both teams’ postseason aspirations as the trade deadline approaches.
