Royals Beat White Sox, 4-3
Mark Ashford, who is rated as the 6th best prospect by BNN, had a strong outing for the Kansas City Royals against the Chicago White Sox at Kauffman Stadium. The left-hander was a big part of his team's 4-3 win. In 5.1 innings, Ashford surrendered 2 hits, while striking out 8 and walking 1. He allowed no runs. Today's win puts Kansas City at 33-41, while Chicago falls to 47-28.

Antonio Ventura had a big 2-run double for the Royals in the bottom of the second inning. With Kansas City leading 1-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a slider from Felix Martinez, who finished 5th in the AL in strikeouts with 200 last year, and swatted a double to right. It was his 18th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Royals ahead, 3-0.

"It was a real good effort by Mark," said Kansas City manager Connor Gould. "I loved the way he bore down."
