Royals Win, 5-3, Versus Texas
Good production from left fielder Hervé Masson helped the Kansas City Royals topple the Texas Rangers, 5-3. Masson went 2 for 3 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 3 times and driving in 2 for the Royals. Kansas City has won 3 straight, while Texas has lost 3 in a row.

Kansas City used the timely hitting of Camil Groza to seize the win. The shortstop stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Royals on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

Groza called the win "a team effort."
