Philadelphia registered a win at Citizens Bank Park by beating the Kansas City Royals, 5-3. Pitcher Luis Miguel Rivera was one reason why the Phillies triumphed. Rivera yielded 1 run over 7.1 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 4, and struck out 6. His record improves to 9-6. The win gives Philadelphia a season record of 82-68.

The Phillies benefited from an error in the bottom of the fifth inning. Philadelphia was leading 1-0 when Ivan Hakanson hit a 2-run single that was misplayed. It put Philadelphia in front, 3-0.

"It never gets old," said Rivera. "Winning, that is."
