Cleveland Slaps 7-1 Loss on Royals
The 2025 season began for the Kansas City Royals with a loss to the Cleveland Guardians at Kauffman Stadium. The final score was 7-1. Cleveland pitcher Tyler Glasnow had a fine performance.

It could have been a different outcome for Cleveland, had it not been for Seth Brown, the 32-year old first baseman . Brown contributed a 2-run double in the top of the first inning to put Cleveland up, 5-0.

"It's nice to deliver when your team's counting on you," said Brown.
