Royals Get Hard-Earned Win
Despite a fine performance by center fielder Joel Fortune, the Houston Astros lost to the Kansas City Royals, 9-8. Fortune went 4-5 with 4 singles. He scored 2 runs. Numan bin Hakim, now 1-5, picked up the win in relief. He allowed 1 run on 2 hits in 2.2 innings. Willie Echeveste closed it out for Kansas City, earning his 2nd save.

Kansas City used a timely hit from Mario Bonilla to get the win. The first baseman stroked a 2-run double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Royals ahead, 8-7. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"It all depends on which version of our team shows up," said Bonilla. "When we put it all together, I think we're a great team."

Kansas City is last in the American League Central Division with a record of 57-62.
