In these AL Central foes first meeting of the year it was the Guardians besting the Royals in a tight 2-1 game. It’s the first loss of a six-game homestand for Kansas City.
After giving up five runs in his last outing against Detroit, Brady Singer channeled his 2022-self and cruised through a struggling Guardians lineup. Though the strikeout numbers weren’t high, pitching to contact appeared to be the effective strategy.
Unfortunately for Singer, Gavin Williams was even better. In his second start this season, he held the Royals to one hit over six shutout innings. That one hit came from the red-hot Freddy Fermin.
