Diamondbacks Beat Royals, 5-3
Starting pitcher Gabe Garza pitched well enough to help the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Kansas City Royals, 5-3. The winning pitcher was Garza, now 8-4. He tossed 7 innings of 5-hit ball, while walking 0 and fanning 10. Mario Gomez earned save number 2 this season.

Arizona used the clutch hitting of Harry Serna to capture the win. The third baseman drilled a run-scoring double in the top of the seventh inning to give the Diamondbacks the lead, 3-2. For the game, Serna had 1 single and 1 double in 4 at-bats.

Garza called the win "a lesson in teamwork."

The second-place Diamondbacks raised their record to 47-43.
