Tampa Bay right-hander Pedro Castaneda pitched his team to victory over the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium. The final score was 6-5. Steve Mann locked down his 16th save. With the win, Tampa Bay raised its record to 35-34.

Tampa Bay used a well-timed hit by Al Grant to capture the win. The right fielder socked a 2-run double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Rays ahead, 4-1. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"I was trying to do what I do, go out there and compete," said Castaneda.
