Adell, Schneemann homer as Guardians fall to Royals 3–2

Jo Adell and Daniel Schneemann each homered for Cleveland, but the Guardians finished one run short in a 3–2 loss at Kansas City on September 27. Vinnie Pasquantino supplied two home runs for the Royals, finishing 2-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored.

Cleveland scored once in the third inning and once in the sixth. Kansas City answered with runs in the first, fifth and eighth, according to the game data. The final result is also recorded on MLB Gameday.

Adell went 2-for-3 with a walk, a home run and an RBI. Schneemann finished 2-for-4 with a home run and an RBI. David Fry also had two hits in four at-bats, giving the Guardians another productive line without adding a run to the final score.

For Kansas City, Salvador Perez went 1-for-3 with an RBI. Kyle Isbel and Jac Caglianone each recorded two hits. These individual totals come from BALLDONTLIE’s player statistics, checked against the official MLB box score.

Daniel Lynch IV worked 5 1/3 innings for the Royals, allowing seven hits and two earned runs. He struck out two and did not issue a walk.

Parker Messick allowed one earned run on six hits over three innings for Cleveland. Austin Peterson followed with five innings, allowing two earned runs on three hits, including two home runs. Peterson struck out five and walked two.

Kansas City’s other pitchers combined for 3 2/3 scoreless innings. Connor Thomas, Nolan Hoffman, Nate Pearson and Lucas Erceg each appeared in the box score.

The home runs gave Cleveland enough offense to stay close. Kansas City got two of its own from Pasquantino and an additional RBI from Perez, then kept the Guardians from scoring after the sixth. In a one-run game, that final stretch left Cleveland with little room to recover.
