Guardians vs. Royals Game Highlights (7/27/25) | MLB Highlights

And on a hot afternoon in Kansas City with a win, the Royals can take a series from the Guardians who are in front of them in the standings. And now the Guardians will get their first look at Noah Cameron. Yeah. Hey, look, maybe they get more looks, but you better watch that ball because he’ll slip it by your bat. That’s for sure. That barrel, he misses him. This young man, if he keeps his continued composure, he’s going to be one of the Royals best pitchers for sure. And he’s already stepped up this year to prove that. So Steven Quan ready to step into the batters box and hitting .286 with 110 hits. Nice pitch to Quan hit on the ground right side of the infield. That’s going to get through for a base knocks. Salvador Perez couldn’t cut it off and Steven Quan starts the ball game with a base hit for the Guardians. Boy, what a great look that is. Quan has been swinging the bat really well of late. And now Martinez hit by a pitch and the Guardians have their first two on base. Yesterday in game two, Cleveland came out there with a ton of patience. and drew four straight walks to begin the ball game. They put three runs on the board in that inning and never looked back. Boy, you’d love to jump out to a hot start today. Driving a base hit center field on his way to third base is Quan. He’ll stop there and they are loaded up with nobody out here in the first just like game two of the double header yesterday. Isn’t that something? These come on two hits and a hit batter. Yesterday came on walks. So, they’re off to another very good start. Got to find a way now to get some outs before they can do any damage. I mean, you you’d hope to give him a run for a double play ball. David Fry appears in the series for the first time in the air. Very shallow right field and Gritic makes the call. No tag. Oh, that’s a beauty now. Okay, he’s starting to get his pitches to work. He started to go around. He couldn’t check. That’s a strikeout. So, two huge outs on the four and five hitters. And that brings up Arius. Gabriel Arus hitting 230. Broke his bat and a backhand play by Cameron. How about that finish to the inning with an exclamation point. He wasn’t even looking but it went right into the glove. A Houdini for Cameron. The Guardians load him up with nobody out and they do not score. Well, Joey Cantillo is taking the hill for the Guardians today, making his fifth start. This will be his fourth career appearance, but his first start against Kansas City. and he walked him. So now the Royals have a base runner. Bobby Whit Jr. to the plate. 118 hits, batting average 287. CL up the right field line and down. Bobby to second, India to third. And that’s his major league leading 34th double of the year. Wonderfully placed. Waiting, waiting, waiting, and then then fire. There it is. 89 away from him. Okay, that’s exactly what you want to do. Now, let’s see if the Royals can add a run or two with this golden opportunity. Benny Pasquantino coming up. Benny with 61 runs batted in. And there’s a gold glove like play by Santana. Canillo gets to the bag. The Royals get a run right on Q. Perfectly done. Vinnie will take the RBI. Although they score a run and that guy from second goes to third. Whit does. Another opportunity, but a good play by Santana. Mikel Garcia with a runner at third and one out. bobbled at third and the run will score. And then Ramirez got a little careless with his throw and Santana had to help him out and Garcia drives in Bobby Wood Jr. and the Royals lead two nothing. He was very fortunate on two areas. Number one, the ball was right in front of him after the fumble and then Santana as I mentioned saved him an air by scooping up the low throw at first. Hard hit ball again to Ramirez. Sets and the long throw on the money. Side retired, but Kansas City leads two to nothing after one. Royals two and Cleveland nothing. And Randall Gretch about to get his first plate appearance as a member of the Royals. Acquired in a trade with Arizona yesterday. Line base hit left field in his first at bat as a Royal. Don’t you love it? Waited for a change up that floated. Are you kidding? That’s a right-handed hitter’s dream to get a change up in the middle like that. Got him looking. Perfectly placed fast ball outside corner at the knee. His first strike out for Canillo. One down in the second. That’s the first out. Here comes Luke Mey. Got him looking. Tell you what, that’s a second hitter. He locked up looking at a fast ball. Two down. Yeah, he was throwing all curve balls, change ups in that first inning trying to, you know, showing everything, but you got to establish that fast ball. It certainly helps with the off speed and gets a swing and a miss. Tolbert out in front after a leadoff single. Three straight strikeouts for Joey Cantillo. He does the job. So John Rave who struck out looking his first time around. This time draws a full count walk. He’s on it first with one out for Luke Mey. Mey’s now wearing number 17. He’d been wearing number 15 since he came up. But 15 is the number that Randall Gridic has worn his entire big league career. Mey lines it to left center. Quan trying to cut it off deep. Rave is going to be waved home. Come on. Arius relay is late and off of Daylor’s glove. It’s an RBI double for number 17 Luke Meley. The Royals add to their lead. It’s 3 nothing in the bottom of the fourth inning. New number. No problem. Luke Meley has got his first start as a Royals since miday and he delivers. And Noah Cameron who worked around the bases loaded and nobody out right out of the gate in the top of the first inning. Not only got out of that but he has set down 12 of the last 14 and a popup right side shallow right India going back. Gritic coming in. Jonathan wants it. He’ll make the catch and Naylor is 0 for two. When you start retiring batters you hit your spots like he’s doing now. Stay right there one hitter at a time. And there’s a popup behind third. Garcia with his shades on, backpedals and gets to the outfield grass and makes the catch. And there’s a couple of little pop flies, little harmless pop flies that turn into outs to begin this fifth inning. Cameron Deals and a swing and a miss and he strikes him out. And that takes care of the Guardians. Couple of pop outs and a strike out. And Noah Cameron just keeps rolling along. We go to the bottom of the fifth inning. Three nothing Royals. So two quick outs for Festa just in the game and it’ll be Mike El Garcia. Now Mike Kel’s also had two productive plate appearances. A ground out for an RBI in the first inning. 44th run driven in. He’s also drawn a walk today. Oh, get it. And the air left field with the heat. That is plenty out of here. And Mike Garcia has his second home run of the series. Home run number 10 on the year for Mike with a wind roaring to left. He hit a liner to left and it was out of here. That’s backto back days with a home run. Garcia also homered in game one in the double header yesterday. A two-run shot. Double digit homers, too, for the first time in his career. Take all the little little runs the Royals can get because the Guardians are dangerous. There’s no lead is safe against them. 44th appearance this season for Serpa. He’s got a 364 RA and after a rocky start to the season, Anel Serpa has been very reliable and very good. He faces Gabrielle Arius to start the seventh. Basketball hit high in the air deep to right center field. Back on it Tolbert. It is gone over the wall. Gabrielle Arya showing some opposite field thunder. Breaks up the shut out for Kansas City pitching and gets the Guardians on the board. That’s their first hit since Santana’s leadoff single in the fourth inning and only their fourth hit of the day. Carlos Estz will get Gabriel Arius. And Royals pitching today has held the Guardians to one run, six hits. Rock to center. Tolbert on the run. It’s over his head or rather Isbel will play it off the wall and into second base with a leadoff double as Gabby. I tell you what, Rick, his last two swings tells me he has figured it out and is locked back in now. That was 85 mph slot outside edge, but he stayed back on it. You can see as he follows through those legs go to work cuz it was down a little bit and away from the plate and he drilled a double into right center field. Good start. Got the barrel on it for sure. Here’s Nolan Jones pinch hitting jammed and Garcia makes a play in foul territory. One down. Fly ball center field. The wind pushing it back. Plenty of room for Isbel to make the play and tagging at second going to third is Arius. Now there are two out. Now the Royals are one strike away from taking two out of three from the Guardians. Left center field and slicing Isbel is there. Way to take care of business. Yes sir. 27th save for Mr. Estz. Great job. Luke mainly get that hard job today behind the blade. But Mikel Garcia hit his 10th home run. Got two ribbies 44 and 45. Nice job. The Royals offense scored early. And it was so good to see Noah Camera throw up some zeros up there.
