Luis Ortiz allowed just one hit and struck out a career-high 10 in his home debut for Cleveland as the Guardians beat the Kansas City Royals 6-3 on Saturday night to extend their winning streak to five games.

A gesture may not be worth a thousand words, but if anyone saw Luis Ortiz leave the mound at Progressive Field in the sixth inning Saturday night, there was no doubt what he was feeling. Ortiz walked off the mound pounding his glove in glee and tipping his cap to the hometown crowd after striking out a career high 10 batters in the Guardians’ 6-3 win over the Royals.
