Royals Win, 8-3
The St. Louis Cardinals could not turn a fine performance from pitcher Andy Lawson into a win. Instead, the Kansas City Royals prevailed, 8-3. Lawson threw 5.0 innings of 3-hit ball. With this game in the books, Kansas City is 49-59, St. Louis 70-38.

Kansas City used the timely hitting of Marcelo Mayer to seize the win. The shortstop stroked a 2-run single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Royals on top, 4-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"It's nice to come out on top today," said Mayer.
