Guardians fall 4-2 at home to Royals

CLEVELAND — Carter Jensen and Jonathan India homered, Michael Wacha allowed one run in seven innings and the Kansas City Royals defeated the Cleveland Guardians 4-2 on Monday. All-Star third baseman Jose Ramirez became Cleveland's franchise leader in games played with 1,620. Ramirez, who went 0 for 2 with two walks, surpassed Terry Turner's nearly 108-year-old mark. Steven Kwan and Brayan Rocchio had solo shots for the Guardians, who have dropped two of three. Kansas City took a 2-1 lead in the sixth when Jensen lined a fastball by Peyton Pallette (0-1) over the wall in right field for a solo homer. India added a two-run shot in the eighth to extend the advantage to three. Wacha (1-0) allowed only three hits with three walks and three strikeouts in his second start of the season. The right-hander threw six shutout innings March 28 at Atlanta but was scratched from his scheduled April 3 outing against Milwaukee due to illness. Lucas Erceg earned his third save with a scoreless ninth. Wacha's only costly mistake came in the third inning when Kwan drove a fastball down the right-field line to put Cleveland up 1-0. Wacha threw 102 pitches, including 62 strikes. He is the second Royals starter this season to go over 100 pitches. The Royals — who have won two of three — tied it in the fourth by capitalizing on a Guardians mistake. Jensen struck out, which would have ended the inning, but got on base due to Tanner Bibee's wild pitch. India followed with a looping base hit to right field to drive in Vinnie Pasquantino. Rocchio homered to left-center in the eighth. Kansas City lefty Noah Cameron (1-0, 1.80 ERA) opposes Cleveland RHP Gavin Williams (1-1, 2.25) on Tuesday. Game moved Tuesday's game between the Kansas City Royals and Cleveland Guardians has been moved up to a 1:10 p.m. first pitch.The game was moved up five hours because temperatures are expected to be below freezing at night.The time change was also made to avoid a backlog in the schedule or another doubleheader early in the season. Kansas City had a twin bill against Milwaukee on Saturday after Friday's game was postponed, while Cleveland is coming off a doubleheader against the Chicago Cubs on Sunday when Saturday's game was rained out.
