Win Streak Now at 6 for Rays
The Tampa Bay Rays beat the Kansas City Royals, 4-1, at Kauffman Stadium. Starting pitcher Chris Kersten was a big reason why. He held his opponent in check all game. Kersten got the win, improving to 10-3. He gave up 4 hits and walked 2 over 6 innings. He allowed 1 run. Gil Buenaventura earned the save, his 6th in 6 tries.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Danny Negrete? The Tampa Bay left fielder had a 2-run single in the top of the fifth inning to put the Rays on top, 4-1. For the game, Negrete had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"If I go out there and help the team win, that's all you can do," said Kersten.

Tampa Bay leads the American League East Division by 2½ games.
