Atlanta Gets Riveting Walk-Off Win
Kansas City first baseman Joe Washington had a good game, even if his team did not. The Royals dropped a 7-6 decision to Atlanta at SunTrust Park. Washington was 3-4 with 2 home runs and a double. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. Kansas City now has a record of 1-2.

Wilmer Flores was the walk-off hero for Atlanta. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Hammers first baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

Flores described the clubhouse as "kind of rowdy" after the game.
