The Kansas City Royals picked up a win at Kauffman Stadium, knocking off the Cleveland Guardians, 4-3. Starting pitcher Kris Bubic played a key role in the triumph. José Fierro, now 5-6, picked up the win in relief. He allowed no runs on no hits in 1.2 innings. The win puts Kansas City at 79-74 this season.

The game was at a stalemate until second baseman Gustavo López came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Cleveland pitcher Blaine Knight, he hit a first pitch fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Kansas City on top, 4-3.

"You get some opportunities, you better take advantage of them," said Cleveland manager Rocco Baldelli.
