It was a good game offensively for the Guardians, contributions from Johnathan Rodriguez and Brayan Rocchio are always welcome. Steven Kwan hit a massive 431 foot 2 run HR in the top of the 4th to make it 6-2, and that was all the Guardians needed to win this one.

In the bottom of the inning, the Royals wasted a leadoff walk from Maikel Garcia followed by a Salvador Perez single. Jac Caglianone grounded into a double play and then exited the game with left hamstring tightness.

Brayan Rocchio opened the inning with a double. Austin Hedges moved him to third with a bunt and Kwan unloaded on a 2-2 curveball for his ninth homer of the season and a 6-2 lead. The homer was the longest of Kwan’s career and his third in the last three games. It must mean his strained right wrist is starting to feel better.
