Los Angeles Bats Go Silent in 2-0 Loss
Kansas City Royals starter Ken Walker pitched his team past the Los Angeles Angels, 2-0. In 6.1 innings, Walker surrendered 7 hits, while striking out 6 and walking 0. He allowed no runs. The triumph puts Kansas City at 73-66 for the season.

The Angels had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Royals going into the bottom of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the 25-year old left fielder Hervé Masson came to the plate. Masson hit a 2-run home run on a 0-1 changeup from Los Angeles hurler Derrek McGriff. It was Masson's 9th home run of the year.

"Tough win," said Masson. "We had to earn it."
