Orioles Top Royals, 6-3
The Baltimore Orioles picked up a win at Kauffman Stadium, knocking off the Kansas City Royals, 6-3. Starting pitcher Grayson Rodriguez was a big reason why. Baltimore goes to 15-6.

In the bottom of the eighth, Freddy Fermin stood in the box, looking for a pitch to hammer. The Royals were trailing 6-3, but had the bases loaded. That's when Keegan Akin made a terrific pitch and Fermin flied out. Gone was the dream of a Kansas City comeback.
