Kansas City Royals starter Chris Rivers turned in a top-notch performance against the Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field. The result was a win for the Royals, 6-0. The winning pitcher was Rivers, now 6-4. He tossed 5.1 innings of 2-hit ball, while walking 2 and fanning 3. With this game in the books, Kansas City is 29-35, Cleveland 27-36.

Kansas City used a well-timed hit by Mark Baker to capture the win. The left fielder socked a 2-run double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Royals ahead, 3-0. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

Baker told a Kansas City Herald reporter that he was "satisfied" with the win.
