Royals Edge Guardians 4-3 in Opening Day Clash

The Kansas City Royals defeated the Cleveland Guardians 4-3, thanks to a go-ahead RBI double by Bobby Witt Jr. in the seventh inning, following Maikel Garcia's game-tying homer. Guardians' José Ramírez left the game with a sprained right wrist, impacting their lineup. The Royals' win came despite a strong performance from Guardians starter Gavin Williams, who allowed only two runs in five innings. The Guardians are set to play the series finale with Tanner Bibee facing Michael Wacha. Both teams are aiming to build on last season's surprise playoff appearances, and the Guardians have made key offseason moves, trading Andrés Gimenez and acquiring Luis Ortiz. The Guardians, under manager Stephen Vogt, aim to break their long-standing title drought and win the World Series.
