Joey Cantillo and four relievers combined on a four-hitter, Chase DeLauter hit a go-ahead, two-run single and the Cleveland Guardians beat Kansas City 3-1 to stop their three-game skid and the Royals’ five-game winning streak.
Kansas City starter Cole Ragans left after three scoreless innings because of left triceps and elbow soreness.
Cantillo (2-1) allowed one run, three hits and three walks in five innings. Matt Festa, Erik Sabrowski and Hunter Gaddis combined for three hitless innings and Cade Smith worked around Vinnie Pasquantino‘s one-out single for his ninth save in 11 chances.
Chase DeLauter had two hits and two rbi for Cleveland and is now hitting .308.
