KANSAS CITY — Bobby Witt Jr.\u2019s solo homer ignited a four-run fourth inning, Michael Wacha threw seven solid innings Monday night and the Kansas City Royals won their fourth straight game, 6-2 against the Cleveland Guardians.<\/p>\n
Vinnie Pasquantino added two hits with an RBI for the Royals, who overcame an early 2-0 hole to win for the ninth time in 12 games after losing eight in a row.<\/p>\n
The Guardians, who have dropped two straight following a three-game winning streak, opened the scoring in the second inning. Rookie Travis Bazzana singled to right field with one out, then David Fry (2-for-3) sent a Wacha cutter over the left-center field fence for his second homer in three games.<\/p>\n
That was all the damage allowed by Wacha (3-2), who gave up four hits and a walk to get back on track from yielding 10 runs in 10\u2153 innings while losing each of his previous two starts.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Cleveland starter Tanner Bibee (0-5), who entered 4-0 in nine career starts vs. Kansas City, didn\u2019t allow a hit until the fourth. That\u2019s when Witt opened the frame by sending a hanging slider beyond the bullpen past the left field wall. Pasquantino followed with a double and scored on Salvador Perez\u2019s grounder that glanced off the second base bag and through Bazzana\u2019s legs, allowing Kansas City to tie the contest.<\/p>\n
Bibee then loaded the bases with no outs but struck out Jac Caglianone and Isaac Collins before Nick Loftin\u2019s single through the shortstop hole plated two for a 4-2 Kansas City lead.<\/p>\n
Bibee was done after four innings, having allowed four runs on five hits and two walks with four strikeouts. He threw 39 of his 77 pitches in the fourth inning.<\/p>\n
Caglianone went deep in the sixth, sending a Matt Festa pitch well over the right field wall for a two-out solo homer.<\/p>\n
The Royals added another run in the seventh. Witt reached on an error, went to second base on a wild pitch, stole third and scored on Pasquantino\u2019s single to right field.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
