Guardians 4-1 Victors Over Kansas City
The 2025 season did not get off to quite the start the Kansas City Royals had hoped, with an opening day loss to the Cleveland Guardians at Kauffman Stadium. The final score was 4-1. Starting Pitcher Jose C. Medina was the top performer for Cleveland. In 6.1 innings, Medina surrendered 8 hits, while striking out 3 and walking 1. He allowed 1 run. Earning his 1st save of the year was Jesus A. Sanchez.

Joe Young hit a 2-run triple off Scott Blewett in the top of the seventh, which put the Guardians in front, 2-1. Young had 1 single, in addition to the triple. For the game, he went 2 for 4.

"Can't say enough about our pitching," said Young.
