The Kansas City Royals picked up a win at RFK Stadium, topping the Texas Rangers, 7-5. On the mound for Kansas City was right-hander Bill Zimmerman. He played a principal role in the triumph. Zimmerman, now 10-7, was the winner. In 6 innings, he gave up 5 hits, while striking out 8, walking 2, and allowing 1 run. Earning his 9th save for Kansas City was Joshua Soper.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Robinson Rodríguez? The Kansas City third baseman had a 2-run double in the top of the second inning to put the Royals on top, 2-0. For the game, Rodríguez had 1 double and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

"Bill was dictating to their hitters," said Kansas City manager Chris Snyder.

With the win, the Royals have a record of 46-41.
