Kansas City Slaps 7-4 Loss on St. Louis
The Kansas City Royals beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 7-4, at Kauffman Stadium. Kansas City second baseman Fernando Andino led the way. He went 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 and driving in 2. Scott Bowling, who went 5.2 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 2 runs on 8 hits, while walking 0 and striking out 3. His record now stands at 10-8. Dallas Roden was credited with the save for Kansas City, his 2nd of the season.

Kansas City took a 7-3 lead on Jason Johnson's 4th home run of the season. The 3-run home run, which Johnson hit in the bottom of the eighth, left St. Louis pitcher Chris Rapley visibly frustrated.

"We did a lot of good things tonight," said Kansas City manager Connor Gould.

The first-place Cardinals dropped to 63-46.
