					| Cardinals Lose to Royals, 9-2 |  
					| The Kansas City Royals topped the St. Louis Cardinals by the score of 9-2, with the largest share of the credit going to designated hitter Mike Jaquez. Jaquez went 2-5 with a home run, while scoring 2 times and driving in 5 for the Royals. The win puts Kansas City at 23-20 this season. 
 With Kansas City leading 5-1 in the bottom of the sixth, Jaquez came up to bat against St. Louis pitcher Doug Nickey. Jaquez hit a forkball to right for a grand slam home run. His 9th home run of the season put the Royals on top, 9-1.
 
 "I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Jaquez. "And not try to do too much."
