franchise leader in games played<\/a>\u00a0with 1,620. Ram\u00edrez, who went 0 for 2 with two walks, surpassed Terry Turner’s nearly 108-year-old mark.<\/p>\nSteven Kwan and Brayan Rocchio had solo shots for the Guardians, who have dropped two of three.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Lucas Erceg earned his third save with a scoreless ninth.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The Royals \u2014 who have won two of three \u2014 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.<\/p>\n
Rocchio homered to left-center in the eighth.<\/p>\n
