Dodgers Stun Royals, 6-3
Kansas City got a big-time effort from pitcher Simon Mercedes, but it wasn't enough to keep the Los Angeles Dodgers from winning the game, 6-3. Mercedes threw 7.2 innings of 5-hit ball for the losing team. Mike Morin earned his 35th save in 39 tries. The first-place Dodgers have won 8 consecutive games.

Los Angeles took a 6-3 lead on José Rodríguez's 20th home run of the season. The 3-run home run, which Rodríguez hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Kansas City pitcher Kevin Martin visibly frustrated.

"The vibe's good," said Los Angeles manager Torey Lovullo. "We've got to keep it going."
