Royals Rally For 5-3 Win
Eager fans turned out for a matchup between the Kansas City Royals and Texas Rangers.

The Kansas City Royals beat the Texas Rangers, 5-3. Kansas City pitcher and Aurora, Colorado, native Mike Mask led the way. The winner was Mask. He threw 7.1 innings allowing 3 runs. The loser was Bengie McNealy.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Matt Gremillion? The 27-year old catcher Gremillion stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the eighth inning to put Kansas City up, 4-3. For the game, he was 2 for 3, including 1 double and 1 single.

"In baseball, you have your ups and downs," said Texas manager Stephen Gesualdi. "You just try to stay level-headed the whole time."

The loss makes Texas 41-42.
