Rays Top Kansas City, 6-5
The Tampa Bay Rays faced a tough opponent in Kansas City pitcher Joe Kelly, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Kauffman Stadium by a final score of 6-5. Kelly went 6.2 innings and allowed 2 runs. The winner was Tampa Bay reliever Jeremy Benson, now 6-4. The loser was José Fierro. The loss makes Kansas City 40-53.

It could have been a different outcome for Tampa Bay, had it not been for Elliott Jenkins, the former first round draft pick . Jenkins contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the 14th inning to put Tampa Bay up, 6-5.

"It's nice to come out on top today," said Jenkins.
