Expect a tight contest dominated early by the starting pitchers. Noah Cameron’s sharp command keeps Cleveland scoreless through three, but the Guardians break through in the fourth when Chase DeLauter turns on a first-pitch fastball for a two-run shot. Tanner Bibee mixes his slider and change effectively yet concedes single tallies in the second (Kyle Isbel RBI single) and fifth (Maikel Garcia doubles home Bobby Witt Jr.). The middle innings hinge on bullpen depth. Cleveland’s multi-inning lefty Erik Sabrowski strands two inherited runners in the sixth, giving José Ramírez a chance to poke a go-ahead RBI single off reliever John Schreiber in the home half. Kansas City answers in the seventh when Vinnie Pasquantino lifts a sacrifice fly off Shawn Armstrong, but Matt Strahm’s second-day workload shows: Steven Kwan works a leadoff walk in the eighth, steals second, and scores on Rhys Hoskins’ line-drive double for the decisive run. Cleveland turns the ball over to Cade Smith and Connor Brogdon for a clean eighth and ninth, their velocity playing up on short rest, while Kansas City’s late offensive push stalls against Brogdon’s high fastball/slider combo. Guardians edge it 4-3, leveraging a hotter middle of the order and a slightly deeper bullpen despite coming off a double-header.

Kris Bubic Zaustavljen Zbog Bola U Ramenu

Bubic (ERA 4.11, 9.12 K/9) neće se vratiti 7-10 dana nakon injekcije kortizona, ostavljajući Kansas City rotaciju—već usidrenu Wachinim (ERA 3.31)—bez svog najpoužljivijeg ljevaka. Royals imaju omjer 35-53 s razlikom trčanja -83 i ne mogu si priuštiti produžene absence početnoga bacača srednje klase.
