The Kansas City Royals pinned a convincing loss on the Texas Rangers, 14-1, at Kauffman Stadium. Tim Anderson was a main factor in the win. He was 4 for 5 with 2 doubles and 2 singles, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once for Kansas City. The winning pitcher was Nick Martinez. He's now 3-1. He went 6.1 innings, allowing 1 run on 4 hits for the Royals. Kansas City is now 16-17. Texas is 18-15.

Kyle Schwarber had a big 2-run home run for the Royals in the bottom of the third inning. With Kansas City leading 2-1 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a fastball from 26-year old right-handed pitcher Johan Oviedo and punished it. The result was his 8th home run of the season, which put the Royals on top, 4-1.

"We didn't put our best foot forward tonight," said losing manager Mark Karpinski.
