KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kyle Isbel and Maikel Garcia hit back-to-back triples to start a sixth-inning rally, and Vinnie Pasquantino delivered the go-ahead sacrifice fly that sent the Kansas City Royals to a 2-1 win over the Cleveland Guardians. Sam Long earned the win, wiggling his way out of Michael Wacha’s jam in the sixth and retiring the side in the seventh. John Schreiber handled the eighth before James McArthur worked a perfect ninth for his 14th save. Ben Lively took the loss for Cleveland, allowing two runs on six hits and a walk over six innings. The Guardians wound up leaving nine runners on base.
