Royals complete comeback 6-4 win over Guardians
Kansas City Royals relief pitcher James McArthur (66) celebrates with catcher Logan Porter (88) after defeating the Cleveland Guardians at Kauffman Stadium.In a day where Brady Singer struggled, the Royals ended up winning anyway thanks to a four-run eighth inning, sharp pitching by Jackson Kowar and James McArthur, and Nelson Velazquez’s 14th home run on the year. Kansas City ended up on top of Cleveland 6-4.
Let’s hone in on that eighth inning, which is an inning the Guardians likely want to forget. Kyle Isbel walked to lead off the inning. Maikel Garcia then popped out to second base, and Bobby Witt Jr. lined out to Myles Straw. So, you know, two outs.
