Guardians Salvage Royals Set
Guardians take game 3
KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI - MAY 06: Chase DeLauter #24 of the Cleveland Guardians hits a two-run single against the Kansas City Royals in the fifth inning at Kauffman Stadium on May 06, 2026 in Kansas City, Missouri.

Guardians left quite a few runners on base in the first four innings, but had runners on second and third after a Hedges single and Halpin walk (and then a double steal) with DeLauter up. He drove in the first two Guardians runs of the day on a groundball through the left side. Chase gives us the lead on a two-run single!

Manzardo moved him over to 3rd with a flyout to deep right-center and Fry drove him in with an RBI groundout (that Maikel Garcia mishandled, allowing Jose to score). Vogt pulled Cantillo after the 5th. His final line: 5 IP 3 H 1 ER 1K 3 BB.
