the Guardians tallied their season-high in hits (16) on Sept. 8, in their 143rd contest of the regular season. It took Cleveland until only its 13th game this season to match that mark, both of which came at the expense of the Royals.
The Guardians had a big performance in a 10-2 win over the Royals at Progressive Field on Wednesday. Every position player who took a plate appearance reached base, and they collectively had eight extra-base hits. That included Angel Martínez, who went 4-for-5 and hit a grand slam in the eighth inning.
Each of the other extra-base hits were doubles, three of which came off the bat of Rhys Hoskins.
