The Royals got a big at-bat from third baseman Fred Allday. For the game, Allday was 1-5 with a triple. In the top of the second, with a runner on 2nd, he stroked a run-scoring triple. His 2nd triple of the season gave Kansas City (SS-A) a 2-1 lead.

"I try to not think too much," said Allday.

At 29-16, Kansas City (SS-A) is in first place in the North Division.
