Kansas City had no answer for Cleveland Guardians hurler Jimmy Ward, who overwhelmed Athletics hitters as the Guardians coasted to victory, 6-1. The Guardians bumped their record to 43-31 with this win.

Ward earned the win, going 9 strong innings for Cleveland. The native of The United States, allowed just 2 hits, while striking out 7. Kansas City hitters did next to nothing against the right-hander.

"I felt we were ready to go," said Cleveland manager Sid Hamlin. "Our pregame was pretty good."
