Kansas City Wins at Home to Narrow Series Deficit to 3-1
The Kansas City Royals have closed some of the gap between themselves and the series-leading Toronto Blue Jays, winning 7-1 at Kauffman Stadium today. Royals right-hander Randy Wells threw 8.0 innings of 4-hit ball. The win cuts the deficit facing the Royals to 3-1 in the best-of-7 Wild Card Series.

Wells, a native of Belleville, Illinois, was dealing all game. He kept Toronto hitters off-balance, while giving the Royals 8 quality innings. Wells threw 109 pitches, allowing 4 hits and striking out 7.

Wells called the win "a lesson in teamwork."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City.
