Royals Paste 5-2 Loss on Nationals
The Kansas City Royals rode a solid performance from 33-year-old starting pitcher Eric Avery to a win, beating the Washington Nationals, 5-2, at Nationals Park. Mike Blakely got the save, his 43rd in 49 chances. The Royals improved their record to 83-75 by beating Washington.

Kansas City used the bat of Jared Furlough to get the win. The left fielder hit a screwball from Chris Eberhart out of the park for a 2-run home run. The blast came in the top of the fourth inning and put the Royals on top, 2-0. It was Furlough's lone hit, but it left a mark.

Furlough called the win "a team effort."
