Royals Nip Cardinals, 7-6
Kansas City first baseman Devin Mann picked up 3 ribbies while helping his team beat back the St. Louis Cardinals, 7-6. Carlos Hernandez earned the save for Kansas City, his 7th of the year. Kansas City goes to 43-51, St. Louis to 52-41.

Kansas City took a 7-6 lead on Dairon Blanco's 11th double of the season. The run-scoring double, which Blanco hit in the top of the eighth, left St. Louis pitcher Trevor Megill visibly frustrated.

"It was offense that won us the game," said winning manager Patrick Ochs.
