Rocchio's RBI single in the 9th gives Guardians 2-1 victory over the Royals

CLEVELAND — Brayan Rocchio’s single with one out in the ninth inning drove in CJ Kayfus to give the Cleveland Guardians a 2-1 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday.

Kayfus singled off John Schreiber (0-1) and advanced to second when Bo Naylor walked. Rocchio’s single just eluded Kansas City second baseman Jonathan India to go into right field. Kayfus slid into home and beat the throw of right fielder Lane Thomas for the winning run.
