The Cleveland Guardians defeated the Kansas City Royals 7-2, snapping the Royals' three-game winning streak. Vinnie Pasquantino and Michael Massey each hit solo home runs for Kansas City, but Cole Ragans struggled, allowing five earned runs in 4.2 innings. Cleveland's Tanner Bibee pitched a strong six innings, giving up just two runs. Jhonkensy Noel's two-run homer and contributions from Jose Ramirez, who added an RBI double and a solo home run, were pivotal. The game also marked Bo Jackson's induction into the Royals Hall of Fame. Despite the win, Cleveland continues to face challenges, particularly with pitcher Triston McKenzie's ongoing struggles.
