Royals Topple Rangers with Late Rally
The Kansas City Royals took Texas pitcher Greg Boyle's best shot and still were able to claim a win at Kauffman Stadium. The final score had Kansas City getting past the Rangers, 6-4. Boyle went 6 innings and allowed 2 runs, striking out 11. The 6th-place Royals go to 59-78.

Kansas City took a 5-4 lead on Dan Samuell's 11th double of the season. The 2-run double, which Samuell hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Texas pitcher Jonathon Skinner visibly frustrated.

"I'm just trying to make good contact," said Samuell, "one at-bat at a time."
