CLEVELAND — Brayan Rocchio came through in the clutch this week, drilling a walk-off RBI single in the ninth inning to give the Cleveland Guardians a 2-1 victory over the Kansas City Royals on April 7, 2026.
Rocchio's hit scored CJ Kayfus and evened the series at one game apiece. The Guardians' bullpen, led by Cade Smith who earned the win, held firm in a pitchers' duel played in chilly conditions.
The dramatic finish marked Cleveland's first walk-off win of the young 2026 season and highlighted the team's resilience and late-game composure.
