Kansas City first baseman Antonio Ventura made his presence felt in the 12-1 Royals triumph over the Atlanta Braves. Ventura was 3-5 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 4. The first-place Royals have won 8 in a row.

With Kansas City leading 4-0 in the bottom of the third, Ventura came up to bat against Atlanta pitcher Josh Smith. Ventura hit a cutter to left for a grand slam home run. His 18th home run of the season put the Royals on top, 8-0.

"That's what makes it fun -- everybody's jacked up because of the way we've been winning," said Kansas City manager Connor Gould.
