Royals Get One-Run Win at Texas
The Kansas City Royals did just enough to sneak past the Texas Rangers, 4-3, at Globe Life Park in Arlington. Kansas City pitcher Chris Irvin, in particular, had a standout performance. Getting the save was Asa Hahn, his 14th. Kansas City has a record of 49-48, placing them third in the American League Central Division.

The Royals got a big at-bat from catcher Mike Meyerhoff. For the game, Meyerhoff went 3-5 with a triple and a double. In the top of the first, with a runner on 1st, he stroked a run-scoring triple. His 6th triple of the season gave Kansas City a 1-0 lead.

"We squandered some opportunities," said Texas manager Juan Smith III.
