Massey's Homer Lifts Royals Past Guardians

The Royals extended their winning streak to five games as Massey's two-run homer in the fourth inning gave them a lead they wouldn't relinquish. Stephen Kolek made his season debut, allowing a three-run shot by Rhys Hoskins but pitching effectively over six innings. freshyourfeel.com

The Guardians' Gavin Williams (5-2) suffered his first loss since March 27, allowing five runs and eight hits. Kansas City took an early 2-0 lead on Salvador Perez's single before the Guardians took the lead on Hoskins' homer. Massey answered with his 392-foot drive in the bottom half, and Collins added a homer in the sixth to complete the scoring.
