The Cleveland Guardians beat the Kansas City Royals, 10-4, at Kauffman Stadium. The Guardians got a fine performance from left fielder Richie Palacios, who hit 2 home runs, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 4. Lex Garcia was the winning pitcher. Over 5 innings, he allowed 3 runs on 5 hits, with 2 walks and 1 strikeout. The Guardians, now 42-57, have won 4 in a row.

Lorenzo Cedrola, the 30-year old right fielder , had a direct impact on the outcome. Cedrola contributed a 2-run single in the top of the second inning to put Cleveland up, 4-1.

"Nice win for us," said Palacios. "Now we'll go after the next one."
