The Guards had a strong start that disappointingly, and quickly, fizzled out. Steven Kwan hit a lead off single to start the game. Angel Martínez was hit-by-pitch and José Ramírez hit a single of his own to load the bases. A flyout, strikeout, and groundout retired the next three batters, ruining the scoring potential.

The Cleveland Guardians and Kansas City Royals play the nightcap of a doubleheader and the second game of a 3-game set Saturday at Kauffman Stadium.
