KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Kris Bubic turned in a solid pitching performance, but that wasn’t going to get it done on a day when Shane Bieber was in top form.
Bieber, the Cleveland Guardians ace, held the Royals to four hits and one walk over eight innings.
The Royals’ lone run came on a solo home run in the fourth by star catcher Salvador Perez as they lost to the Guardians for the second night in a row, 4-1, in front of an announced 12,580 plus an additional 447 dogs for Bark in the Park night at Kauffman Stadium.
