Kansas City Gets 11-7 Win
A 3-RBI performance from Andy Morgan helped the Kansas City Royals beat the Detroit Tigers, 11-7. Kansas City, at 71-58, sits in 4th place in the American League Central Division.

Kansas City used a well-timed hit by Antonio Ventura to capture the win. The left fielder socked a 2-run double in the top of the third inning to put the Royals ahead, 2-0. Though it was his only hit in 5 at-bats, it was important.

"Anytime you're seeing it well, it's a good feeling," Morgan told the Kansas City Observer.
