CLEVELAND (AP) — After four months and a lengthy rain delay, there's a second team sitting atop the AL Central.
The Royals have run down the Guardians.
Paul DeJong hit a two-run homer and Kansas City moved into a tie for first with Cleveland by beating the Guardians 6-1 on Tuesday night in a game delayed more than two hours by rain.
The Royals, who lost 106 games last season, improved to a league-best 23-13 since the All-Star break, when they trailed the Guardians by seven games.
