Royals vs. Guardians Game 2 Highlights (8/26/24) | MLB Highlights

Logan Allen 20th start this year at the big leagues. 8 to 48 starts here at home pitched. Well, he's 3 to 0 at home. So hopefully he can go out there and put some zeros on the board and this offense gets rolling and that's lined to deep right field off the wall. And Garcia who lined to the outfield twice in game one has a leadoff double first pitch. Can't do it any better. 23rd, double, beautiful job. He two on nobody out. Would you want to pitch to junior there? Logan Allen in a jam Then pass double play ball. There's one and two nicely turned by Jimenez and Roo just exactly what you needed, but you get the big left hander to hit it right at Jimenez. Give it to Roo and you've got yourself a pair now, a chance to get out of it and he's on with Allen's second walk of the inning. Freddie was a DH in game one and he was zero for four weekly hit to third. Will go the short way and the side is retired. No runs a hit two left. The Guardians are coming to bat and here's Alec Marsh who is back from AAA and appearing for the Royals for the first time in almost a month ripped to right field that will get down for a base hit. And stephen Juan, he was one for four earlier today and leads it off with a solid line drive to right and he goes that way again. He's got that stroke. Well, you know, that's that. Stay with it, stay with it. It's short, it's quick to the baseball and you're going to see those guys starting to move over a little bit. But watch how short, smooth level. Now, jose Ramirez one for four with a double and a run scored earlier today. Now the 32, jose Hammers it to right field and Dyron Blanco got turned around, he never really made a good play on the ball around third, he got held up, he will come home and right on his heels comes Jimenez. They both score a nearly disastrous turn of events proves profitable for Cleveland and they lead two to nothing. This is a vicious line drive just ate up Blanco. He turned the wrong way and never even came close and by the time they get it in, I don't know why they hesitated, but they both score got nailed on the knee that couldn't have felt too good, but he appears to be a ok. So 1st and 3rd nobody out. John Kensey Noel, the batter called third strike So Marsh comes up with a big pitch to get Noel and that's out. Number one, pick up Blanco there one away. That's good pitch on the outer half. He's got to go. Here's the 02 and before it's made a throw to first and it's in the dirt goes into foul ground in to score Ramirez throw to second head first sliding Taylor is out. Oh, what a recovery by garcia and through Naylor out trying to go when Ramirez scored from third, two errors on the Royals. This inning, they could have 33 nothing Cleveland two to zero on Paul, the young young Melendez and Guo in the Royals second high fly ball to deep left field and Paul Deo has his 22nd home run of the year and that's way back into the bleachers and the Royals needed that after a sloppy bottom of the first and it is 31. Now, Stephen Kwan in left barely moved. He just turned around and watched it fly. Garcia leads off the Royals third and he has a base hit. He has two leadoff base hits. He doubled leading off the first inning and the Royals weren't able to get him around to score but he swung the bat well in both games today and he's two for two tonight. Bobby waits for a pitch out over the plate and smashed to left field and now juan gets all tangled up. The throw goes to second junior slides in with a double. The Royals have runners at 2nd and 3rd and nobody out my what a shot. It stayed in the yard a 10 nine exo a single can tie the game second and third one out Royals down. 31 the pitch and a swing and a chopper left side, the infield was back. So the Royals are going to score a run on this ground ball to the shortstop in the score comes garcia and here's Freddy Fermin with a runner at third base and two down to his with a oh, he was off the ground parallel to the ground diving to second to Rob freddie Fermin of a game tying hit 3 to 2. Cleveland for Logan Allen. That's his third walk of this ball game. They have a couple of men on for Garrett Hampson lined into right center field. The Royals are going to tie the game as de Young comes around to score and Bla goes to third. So there's a hit with a runner in scoring position. Garrett Hampson and the Royals have come back to tie it in the fourth. Michael Garcia comes up and he's been a problem and the pitch and a swing and a high fly ball deep left center back goes on the track. He'll make the catch tagging. Third is Blanco. He'll come in and score and the Royals have taken a 43 lead on the sacrifice fly off the bat of Michael garcia for three KC. It's his 51st of the year who popped out to the first baseman. His first time up, swung on and there's a high fly ball deep right field home run, Daniel Schieman. And with one swing, this game is tied at four Schieman with his fifth home run on the season. And the Guardians are in a tie game. Once again. Here in the fourth, the Royals have scored four unanswered runs but Steven goes deep, brings up Salvador Perez and an RB I ground out his last time up. He's zero for one with a walk payoff pitch again and Salvi smashes it deep to left center field and Brennan are back, they both look up, it's gone and the Royals are back in front, a solo homer for Salvador Perez and the Royals lead 5 to 4 in the top of the fifth. Salvi's 24th home run of the season. He's now got 90 RB is Guardians are going to put junior on and load the bases with one out for Vinny Patino. The pitch swing and a little tamper put them out. Haren throws to the plate caught by Naylor kept his foot on the wide throw. It was to the third base side of the plate. What a play by Naylor stretching like a first baseman. Great job on both ends. Wow. So now two down for Salvi with the bases still loaded. Oh, high ball left center field on six RBIs for Salvy tonight. How could you try to sneak a piece of cheese by a hungry captain? Ain't gonna work. And that is the captain locked in that 31 pitch. He didn't flinch on it and he got himself a cookie and this ball goes far into the night. Haren's ready hands at the belt , lets it fly and the pitch ripped into right. That's a base hit near the line. Noel over to cut it off. Male is going for two. Here's the throw on one hop slide tag, a tumbling tag by Roo the shortstop on the head first sliding MJ Melendez. Oh What a play by Noel. He went to the line, cut it off , did a spin and one hot throw to second. And that's a huge play by the big man to cut off a potential run. The Royals are one out away and Jimenez steps to the plate and Menez lifts it into left center field. Hampton's into the gap. He's there to make the catch and the Royals win the game 9 to 4. The final score. The Royals sweep the double header at progressive field.
