Guardians Snatch Late Win
The Cleveland Guardians had to overcome a big game from Kansas City right fielder Roman Downey to leave Progressive Field with a victory. And they did, winning 8-5. Downey went 4-4 with a home run and 2 doubles. He scored 3 times. Reliever Katsumi Omura picked up the win. His record improves to 6-5. Brandon Ferrari took the loss. The Guardians go to 48-70 with the win.

Cleveland took a 7-5 lead on Christian Blue's 2nd triple of the season. The 2-run triple, which Blue hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Kansas City pitcher Brandon Ferrari shaking his head.

Blue told the media after that game that the mood in the clubhouse is "extremely positive" after a win like that.
