The Kansas City Royals powered past the Tampa Bay Rays, 11-4, at Kauffman Stadium. Jorge Castillo went 2-5 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once, to lead the charge. Javon Bolton, credited with the save, is now 2 for 2 in save opportunities. The Rays, now 62-92, have lost 6 straight.

The Royals got an important contribution from catcher Tim Kingsley, who in the bottom of the second punched a 2-1 forkball into left for a 2-run double. It was his 21st double of the season and put the Royals ahead, 3-0.

Castillo told a Kansas City Daily News reporter that he was "satisfied" with the win.
