The Los Angeles Angels got a good effort from starter Joey Renner in defeating the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium. The final score was 3-2. Mike James notched his 26th save of the season. With the win, the Angels have a record of 67-68.

The Royals had been locked in a 2-2 tie with the Angels going into the top of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the 33-year old left fielder Steve Simon came to the plate. Simon hit a solo home run on a 1-1 fastball from Kansas City hurler Tyler Pitzer. It was Simon's 23rd home run of the year.

"Joey had himself a pretty good evening," said Los Angeles manager Keith Orchard.
