Late Offense Lifts Kansas City to 8-2 Victory
Kansas City turned a fine outing from starter Mark Ashford into a victory over the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium. The final score was 8-2 in 13 innings. The winner in relief was Theron Koulpasis. He is now 3-0. The left-hander allowed no runs on 2 hits in 1.2 innings. The defeat makes New York 38-54.

The game was at a stalemate until center fielder Rafael Avila came to bat in the top of the 13th. Facing New York pitcher Daisuke Yoshioka, he hit a 0-1 sinker for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Kansas City on top, 3-2.

"This game showed the grit and grind of our guys," said Avila.
