Seth Lugo delivered a stellar performance, striking out 10 over six shutout innings to claim his major league-leading 11th win as the Kansas City Royals defeated the Cleveland Guardians 6-2. Salvador Perez contributed significantly with a two-run homer and an RBI groundout, while Bobby Witt Jr. and Vinnie Pasquantino added crucial hits. This victory secured the Royals' series win over the AL Central-leading Guardians, taking three out of four games. Despite Logan Allen's efforts, the Guardians couldn't overcome the Royals' early lead, with Jose Ramirez and Josh Naylor scoring their only runs late in the game. Lugo's impressive season continues as he leads the MLB in wins and ERA, bolstering his case for the Cy Young Award.
