The Kansas City Royals finished things off in style.

Kansas City Royals starter Scott Bowling turned in a workmanlike performance against the New York Yankees at Kauffman Stadium. Kansas City reliever Theron Koulpasis picked up the win, upping his record to 4-3. Bryan Fraley took the loss.

Scott Griffith was the walk-off hero for Kansas City. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Royals left fielder hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"This house was rockin'," Griffith said.

Kansas City currently is in last place in the American League Central Division at 66-77.
