After Royals tie score, rookie Collin Snider gives up 3-run homer in loss to Guardians

CLEVELAND — With the score tied in the bottom of the eighth inning, Kansas City Royals reliever Collin Snider gave up three runs courtesy of Andres Gimenez’s fifth home run of the season. That blast completely changed the complexion of the game.

The Royals had just scored two runs in the top half of the eighth to pull even, but the Guardians swung the game against Snider and added an unearned run on a Bobby Witt Jr. throwing error to take a four-run advantage.

The Royals couldn’t overcome the deficit in the final inning and fell 7-3 in the opener of a three-game series in front of an announced 15,271 at Progressive Field on Monday night.
