Royals Get Past Atlanta for 5-4 Win
The Kansas City Royals picked up a win at Kauffman Stadium, taking down the Atlanta Firebirds, 5-4. Starting pitcher Pedro Fernandez was a big reason why. The winner was Ken Giles in relief. His record improves to 5-5. Carlos A. Lopez took the loss. The Kansas City win streak is now 3 games.

The decisive blow was delivered by Jorge Palmeiro in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a solo home run off fireballing right-hander Carlos A. Lopez to win the game for Kansas City. The home crowd went nuts.

"This game was intense," Palmeiro said, postgame.
