The Kansas City (AZL) Royals withstood a fine game by Texas (AZL) left fielder Xavier Richards at Surprise Stadium, to upend the Rangers, 6-3. Richards went 3-3 with 3 singles and a walk. Kansas City (AZL) is now 30-21.

Kansas City (AZL) used a well-timed hit by Ramon Cardenas to capture the win. The left fielder socked a 2-run double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Royals ahead, 2-0. Though it was his only hit in 5 at-bats, it was important.

In postgame comments, Cardenas told the Kansas City (AZL) Chronicle: "Do people still doubt I give 100 percent?"
