Cantillo, bullpen combine for 4-hitter, Guardians' 3-1 win stops 3-game skid, Royals' 5-game spurt

The Cleveland Guardians defeated the Kansas City Royals 3-1 on May 7, 2026, with Joey Cantillo and four relievers combining on a four-hitter. Chase DeLauter's go-ahead two-run single proved decisive, while Cantillo improved to 2-1 by allowing one run, three hits, and three walks over five innings. The win ended Cleveland's three-game losing streak and snapped Kansas City's five-game winning streak; Royals starter Cole Ragans exited early after three scoreless innings due to left triceps and elbow soreness.
