Late Rally by Royals Locks Up 7-6 Win
The Kansas City Royals knocked off the Cleveland Indians by the score of 7-6. Willis Otanez provided some pop, going 2-for-5 with 1 home run. The Royals, at 59-30, have a comfortable 14-game lead in their division.

The game was at a stalemate until right fielder Quinn Williams came to bat in the top of the eighth. Facing Cleveland pitcher Andy Hightower, he hit a 1-0 fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Kansas City on top, 7-6.

"I believe in our guys," said Kansas City skipper Dan Thompson. "I like the energy they're playing with."
