The Kansas City Royals faced a tough opponent in Atlanta pitcher Jorge Villalona, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Kauffman Stadium by a final score of 4-2. Villalona went 5.2 innings and allowed 1 run. Kansas City, now 68-78, holds down last place in the American League Central Division.

Kevin Stark, who finished 5th in the AL in RBI with 101 last year, aided the Kansas City cause with a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the bottom of the seventh. For the game, the third baseman drove in one run.

"We put it together today and came out with the win," Stark said in postgame remarks. "That's the main thing."
