					| Royals Rally to Eke Out Win |  
					| No one was more impactful than Roman Downey in the 8-7 Kansas City win over Pittsburgh. Downey, who is rated as the 27th best prospect by BNN, hit 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. Kansas City reliever John Hall picked up the win, upping his record to 8-10. Jimmy Vanthournoutingtonle shouldered the loss. With the win, the Royals have a record of 68-84. 
 Kansas City used the timely hitting of Yuichi Takata to seize the win. The shortstop stroked a run-scoring  single in the top of the 12th inning to put the Royals on top, 8-7. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.
 
 "It was terrific getting this win," Takata said. "We put in a lot of work to do it."
