Miami Defeated By Royals, 5-3
Getting a good performance from third baseman Gilberto Encarnación, the Kansas City Royals defeated the Miami Marlins, 5-3. Encarnación went 1-1 with a home run for the Royals. The Royals, at 62-78, sit in last place in the American League Central Division.

A defensive lapse proved costly in the contest. In the bottom of the sixth, with the game tied, Ramão La Arena was at the plate when Kansas City scored 1 on an error. The miscue enabled the Royals to go in front, 4-3.

"I really like what we did out there today," Encarnación said after the game.
