Kansas City Beats New York, 6-2
The Kansas City Royals beat the New York Yankees by a score of 6-2. Kansas City right fielder Ben Leach deserved the lion's share of the credit. Leach was 3-3 with a double, 2 singles, and 2 walks, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for the Royals. Picking up the win was Kevin Knaust. He went 7 innings, allowing 2 runs on 5 hits. The right--hander struck out 7 and walked 1. The third-place Royals go to 45-56.

Anthony Rizzo, the four-time Gold Glove Award winner , had a direct impact on the outcome. Rizzo contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the first inning to put Kansas City up, 2-0.

"We need to string a few more wins like this one together," said Rizzo.
