Multi-HR Game for Ward in 9-8 Win
The timely hitting of Taylor Ward helped the Los Angeles Angels down the Kansas City Royals, 9-8. Ward went 2 for 3 with 2 home runs. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice for the Angels. Kansas City has now lost 5 consecutive games.

Los Angeles used the clutch hitting of Luis Rengifo to capture the win. The second baseman drilled a 2-run double in the top of the ninth inning to give the Angels the lead, 8-6. For the game, Rengifo had 1 single and 1 double in 5 at-bats.

"I warned the team before the game," losing manager Patrick Ochs told reporters, "that I'm wearing the same pair of undies until we win."
