The winning pitcher was 25-year old right-handed pitcher Kevin Appier. He tossed 120 pitches over 8 innings, allowing 1 run on 4 hits. The defeat makes Baltimore 20-21.

In the bottom of the first, 31-year old catcher Salvador Perez hit a 2-run home run. The 8th home run of the season for the Kansas City catcher put the Royals on top, 2-0.

"If you pitch well, you give yourself some opportunities," said Kansas City manager .
