Guardians Maintain 1-Game AL Central Lead, Beat Royals 12-9 with Help From 6 Walks in 5-Run 9th
The Guardians plan to keep Parker Messick available as they chase the AL Central title and a playoff berth with one game left.
- On Friday, the Cleveland Guardians defeated the Kansas City Royals 12-9 with a five-run ninth inning, maintaining their one-game lead over the Chicago White Sox in the American League Central.
- Thursday's 1-0 victory against the Boston Red Sox secured the Guardians' third consecutive playoff berth, ensuring at least a wild-card spot heading into the final weekend.
- The Guardians will start Gavin Williams, Tanner Bibee, and Parker Messick against the Royals this weekend; Williams ranks second in the major leagues with 244 strikeouts.
- Because the White Sox hold the division tiebreaker, the Guardians must finish with a better record than Chicago to win the American League Central.
- Parker Messick, a contender for AL Rookie of the Year, could start a wild-card opener on September 29 or a Division Series opener on October 3.
