Kansas City Earns 10-9 Win
The Kansas City Royals beat the Tampa Bay Rays in a game featuring much hitting but not much pitching. The final score was 10-9, Royals. One of the hitting stars was right fielder Jermaine Dye. Dye went 2-4 with 2 doubles and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. Kansas City has a record of 54-61, placing them 4th in the American League Central Division.

Kansas City used the clutch hitting of Biz Mackey to snag the win. The designated hitter drilled a 3-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Royals ahead, 10-8. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a crucial one.

"Crazy game," said Dye after it ended.
