Kansas City Snags 5-4 Win
The Kansas City Royals topped the Houston Astros, 5-4, in 10 innings at Kauffman Stadium. The game was highlighted by the performance of Kansas City pitcher Mark Gubicza. Kansas City reliever Joakim Soria got the win, raising his record to 1-2. Larry Andersen was tagged with the loss. Kansas City, now 52-61, holds down 4th place in the American League Central Division.

Up to bat in the bottom of the tenth, 27-year old catcher Darrell Porter had a chance to be the hero. Houston pitcher Larry Andersen wanted to foil that plan. But with one out, Porter hit a sacrifice fly. The Royals had themselves a thrilling win.

"Always feels extra good winning this kind of game," said Gubicza.
