Marlins Defeat Royals, 8-6
Despite a fine performance by catcher MJ Melendez, the Kansas City Royals lost to the Miami Marlins, 8-6. Melendez was 4 for 5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. With the win, the Marlins have a record of 40-38.

The game was at a stalemate until right fielder Bryan De La Cruz came to bat in the top of the 11th. Facing Kansas City pitcher Carlos Hernandez, he hit a 2-1 splitter for a 2-run single. It was a game-changer, putting Miami on top, 8-6.

In postgame comments, De La Cruz said, "I think we gave the fans their money's worth."
