The third game of the series took place on Tuesday night, and was stopped for some time due to a rain delay. But once it resumed, Kansas City continued to keep a hold on the Guardians as the Royals won 6-1, taking a 3-0 lead in this series in Cleveland.
Paul DeJong hit a two-run homer during the top of the second inning, and the Royals later scored three runs in the top of the seventh inning.
David Fry scored the Guardians’ only run of the game during the bottom of the fourth inning, keeping from a potential shutout.
But furthermore, the Guardians’ grasp on first place in the AL Central has nearly faded, as both them and Kansas City are tied for first in the division. Whoever wins Wednesday’s game at Progressive Field will take hold of first place in the AL Central.

Here is more background from Tuesday night’s game by Joe Noga of cleveland.com:
Incoming storms halted play between the Guardians and Royals on Tuesday with Kansas City leading the Guardians in the middle of the fifth inning by a 2-1 score.
Paul DeJong’s two-run home run off Cleveland starter Gavin Williams put the Royals in front in the second inning. Cleveland cut into the KC lead with an RBI single from Lane Thomas in the fourth.
Williams struck out Bobby Witt Jr with two runners on base to end the top of the fifth. As soon as Cleveland’s defense walked off the field, grounds crews rolled out the tarp, and a delay began at 8:06 p.m.

Royals Announcer Pulls Off Incredible Reverse Jinx on Team’s Go-Ahead Home Run

The Kansas City Royals and Cleveland Guardians were scheduled to play two at Progressive Field on Monday. The game was tied heading into the eighth inning when Royals announcer Rex Hudler pulled off an incredible—and seemingly unintentional—reverse jinx that ended up winning the game for Kansas City.
Hunter Gaddis took the mound to start the inning with Bobby Witt Jr. leading off for the Royals. As Gaddis prepared to deliver his second pitch of the inning, Hudler, calling the game with Jake Eisenberg on Bally Sports Kansas City, marveled at the fact that he had only given up three home runs all season. You can probably guess what happened next.

“Man, oh man, he’s only given up three home runs? Four!”
Hudler had barely finished his sentence by the time he was interrupted by the crack of Witt’s bat. Without missing a beat he corrected himself to reflect the new total. It was Witt’s 27th home run of the year and strangely the second appearance in a row where Gaddis surrendered a homer. It was only the third earned run he had given up in all of August and 11th of the season.
Hudler can clearly alter the course of games simply by pointing out statistics on the broadcast. That could come in handy during down the stretch.
