Bo Naylor went 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored as the Guardians eked out a one-run victory over the Royals on Thursday night.

Naylor smacked a two-out double off of Stephen Kolek in the fifth inning but the Guardians were unable to cash him in. He then led off the eighth inning with a single off of John Schreiber and rode home on a go-ahead two-run blast by C.J. Kayfus. With his two-hit night, the 25-year-old backstop is now slashing .181/.274/.346 with 11 homers, 32 RBI, one stolen base and a 92/42 K/BB ratio over 371 plate appearances in what has been an especially brutal season at the dish.
