Tampa Bay got a strong outing from Scott Kazmir as the Rays defeated the Kansas City Royals, 4-2, at Tropicana Field. Grant Balfour sewed up the save, his 25th. Tampa Bay, now 53-66, holds down last place in the American League Eastern Division.

Tampa Bay took a 4-2 lead on Yandy Díaz's 7th home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which Díaz hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Kansas City pitcher Dan Quisenberry visibly frustrated.

Kazmir attributed the triumph to "a good team effort."
