Diamondbacks Win Squeaker, 5-4, Over Royals
Arizona beat Kansas City at Chase Field, escaping with a 5-4 win. The win in large part was due to right fielder Brendan Keyes. He went 2 for 4 with a home run. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Arizona reliever Mike Gonzales picked up the win, upping his record to 6-2. Antonio Aguilar absorbed the loss. Will Cascalho got the save, the 24th for him this season.

Had Jordan Johnson not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 3rd, Johnson hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 5-4, in favor of the Diamondbacks.

Arizona manager Terrell Bailey called it "a good, solid win."

Arizona now has a record of 57-52 with the win.
