Royals 9-2 Winners Versus Arizona (AZL)
The Kansas City (AZL) Royals defeated the Arizona (AZL) Diamondbacks, 9-2, at Surprise Stadium. Cody Christian was one of the standouts for Kansas City (AZL). His 4 hits included 3 singles and 1 triple -- this in addition to the 2 runs he scored and 1 he knocked in. John Mason got the win, improving to 4-0. He pitched 5.2 innings, giving up 7 hits and 2 runs, while striking out 6 and walking 0. The save was credited to Danny Miller, his 2nd.

Carlos Canales had a big bases-clearing triple for the Royals in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Kansas City (AZL) leading 4-1 and the bases loaded, he got a fastball from 19-year old right-handed pitcher Jim Unknown and swatted a triple to right-center. It was his 3rd triple of the season, and more importantly, it put the Royals ahead, 7-1.

Said losing manager Gabe Figueroa: "It's very easy to sit in an ivory tower and critique the pitching, but the bottom line is we need to score runs."

The Royals now have a record of 32-13.
