Kansas City Rallies for 9-6 Win
The Kansas City Royals defeated the St. Louis Cardinals, 9-6, in part because of third baseman Alex Rodriguez. Rodriguez went 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2 for the Royals. Kansas City reliever Kelvin Herrera picked up the win, while Kevin Slowey took the loss for St. Louis. Joakim Soria was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 20 of 22 save opportunities.

R.T. Plumsky came through with a big-time hit for Kansas City. The designated hitter smacked a 3-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to give his team the lead, 9-6. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"It's nice to see a lot of guys make contributions," said Royals manager Kevin Mitchell.

By defeating St. Louis, the first-place Royals improved to 50-30.
