Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Dave Moon? The Kansas City first baseman had a bases-clearing double in the top of the seventh inning to put the Royals on top, 8-5. For the game, Moon had 1 double and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

"We swung the bats good throughout the lineup," said Kansas City skipper Jim Tracy.
