In baseball, each game is unique. This one was no different.

The Kansas City Royals knocked off the Washington Nationals, 13-3, at Kauffman Stadium. Jesus Sanchez was a big reason Kansas City won. The right fielder was 4 for 5 with a double and 3 singles. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3. Ben Hernandez was the winner. Over 6.1 innings, he allowed 2 runs on 2 hits, with 2 walks and 8 strikeouts.

MJ Melendez hit a 2-run double off Eduardo Rodriguez in the bottom of the sixth, which put the Royals in front, 4-2. In addition to the double, Melendez had 2 singles and 1 walk, while going 3 for 4.

"We need to keep playing good baseball," Melendez told the Kansas City Citizen.

Washington has now lost 4 consecutive games.
