The home crowd had a good time watching the Kansas City Royals and Cincinnati Reds get after it.

Though he had a stellar game, Hervé Masson could not prevent his team, the Kansas City Royals, from losing, 8-6, to the Cincinnati Reds. Masson was 4-4 with 4 singles and a walk. He scored 2 times. Shane Broyles, credited with the win in relief, is now 1-0. He allowed 1 run on 4 hits in 1 innings.

Cincinnati pinch hitter Jon Clark helped the Reds go up, 4-3, in the bottom of the seventh inning. With the game tied, Clark hit a run-scoring single off Kansas City pitcher Jefferson Vergara.

"The boys were really swinging the bats today," winning manager Kevin Cash said.

With the win, Cincinnati upped its record to 32-29.
