Brayan Rocchio delivered a tiebreaking RBI single with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning Tuesday afternoon, sending the host Cleveland Guardians to a 2-1 victory against the Kansas City Royals.<\/p>\n

Rocchio started 0-for-3 until facing John Schreiber (0-1) with runners at first and second in the ninth, poking a single through the right side. Lane Thomas came up cleanly with Rocchio\u2019s hit but could not throw out CJ Kayfus at the plate.<\/p>\n

Kayfus had singled, and Bo Naylor drew a walk to put him in scoring position.<\/p>\n

Right-hander Cade Smith (2-0) earned the victory, striking out two in a 1-2-3 ninth. Guardians pitchers limited the Royals to one hit, a solo home run by Carter Jensen in the second inning. Royals batters walked eight times, with seven runners stranded, but struck out 14 times.<\/p>\n

The game\u2019s start was moved forward by five hours due to impending frigid weather. While the sun shone at Progressive Field, game-time temperatures hit the lower 30s with wind chills in the 20s.<\/p>\n

In his major league debut, Guardians rookie Juan Brito doubled in his first at-bat and finished with two hits. Cleveland promoted him before the game and started him at second base, after placing infielder Gabriel Arias on the injured list due to a strained left hamstring.<\/p>\n

Jensen took right-hander Gavin Williams deep in the second for this third homer of the season and his second in two games. Jensen\u2019s homer Monday helped Kansas City win the series opener 4-2.<\/p>\n

Williams struck out eight and walked five in 5 2\/3 innings.<\/p>\n

Left-hander Noah Cameron allowed a run, six hits and a walk to go with five strikeouts over 5 2\/3 innings for the Royals.<\/p>\n

Steven Kwan lined a two-out RBI single in the fifth to tie the score.<\/p>\n

The series concludes Wednesday with another afternoon game. The two sides will face off at 1:10 p.m.<\/p>\n
