Rays Win, 2-1, at Kansas City
Kauffman Stadium was the site of a true pitchers' duel.

The Tampa Bay Rays beat the Kansas City Royals, 2-1, at Kauffman Stadium. Starting pitcher Julián Martínez was a big reason why. He held his opponent in check all game. Martínez picked up the win for Tampa Bay, going 7 innings. He gave up 1 run on 7 hits. He now sports a record of 8-10. Anastasio Soto recorded his 20th save for Tampa Bay.

Tampa Bay used the timely hitting of Sancho Huerta to seize the win. The center fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Rays on top, 2-1. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"I really like what we did out there today," Huerta said after the game.

The win puts the Rays at 64-93, while the Royals drop to 86-71.
