The Cleveland Guardians beat the Kansas City Royals in their final game of their four-game series.
Here are three observations and takeaways from the Guardians' latest win.Tanner Bibee threw plenty of strikes on Wednesday afternoon, but the Royals took advantage of that and made a ton of contact against him. Bibee ended up giving up five earned runs on eight hits, including three solo home runs, with two of those coming in the first inning.Bibee obvisouly didn't have his best stuff on Wednesday.

The inning started with a solo home run by Bo Naylor, which set the stage for Cleveland to take the lead. Steven Kwan and Andres Gimenez followed up Bo's blast with base hits, and both ended up scoring via a Josh Naylor single and a Will Brennan single.The Guardians play their best baseball when they're manufacturing runs and supplementing that with some homers. That's exactly what Cleveland did in the sixth inning and they won because of it.
Gimenez made another spectacular catch in the top of the eighth inning and stole a hit from Freddy Fermin. The game could've gone very differently if Cleveland's second baseman hadn't made this play. If Fermin reaches, the Royals have the tying run on base with just one out, and Kansas City is getting ready to turn the lineup over.Published
