					| Royals Edge White Sox, 5-4 |  
					| The Kansas City Royals picked up a win at Kauffman Stadium, taking down the Chicago White Sox, 5-4. Starting pitcher Oscar Banda was a big reason why. Asa Hahn got the save, his 7th in 10 chances. The Royals  now have a record of 53-56. 
 Manny Estrada tagged a home run off Xenophon Valvis in the bottom of the third. His 2-run  blast put the Royals on top, 5-3. In all, Estrada had 1 single in addition to the home run, while going 2 for 4.
 
 "We squandered some opportunities," said Chicago manager Larry Stefanski.
