Kansas City beat San Francisco at Kauffman Stadium, escaping with a 5-4 win. The win in large part was due to designated hitter Luis Díaz. He was 2-2 with 2 singles and 2 walks. The Royals raised their record to 55-49.

The Royals got a big at-bat from catcher Humberto Benizi. For the game, Benizi was 1-4 with a home run. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. In the bottom of the second, with runners on 1st and 3rd, he stroked a 3-run home run. His 8th home run of the season gave Kansas City a 3-0 lead.

Benizi told the media after that game that the mood in the clubhouse is "extremely positive" after a win like that.
