Guardians Victors, 7-5, at Kansas City
The Cleveland Guardians downed the Kansas City Royals, 7-5, at Kauffman Stadium. The Guardians were led by Brett Austin. Austin was 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Francellis Montas snagged the win in relief. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit over 2 innings. He's now 2-0 on the season. The win has Cleveland at 40-63.

Cleveland used a clutch at-bat from Giancarlo Stanton to capture the win. The right fielder hammered a grand slam home run in the top of the first inning to put the Guardians ahead, 4-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"Enjoyed this one," Stanton told the Cleveland Herald. "But it's back to work tomorrow."
