(AP) — Cal Quantrill finished the regular season unbeaten at home, improving to 14-0 in his career at Progressive Field after Owen Miller hit a two-run homer to send the Cleveland Guardians to a 5-3 win over the Kansas City Royals.
Quantrill was in danger of his unblemished run at home ending before Miller’s shot off Daniel Lynch capped Cleveland’s five-run fifth. Quantrill’s 14-game winning streak is the longest in the ballpark’s history.
It also matches the longest unbeaten streak for a pitcher in any ballpark since 1901. José Ramírez drove in two runs and Amed Rosario had three hits for Cleveland.
The Royals take on Cleveland again Wednesday afternoon for their final game of the season with first pitch at 3:10 central. Coverage begins at 2:30 on KFEQ Radio (680, 95.3) in St. Joseph.
