Mounties Show Nerve in Tight 4-3 Win
Vancouver starter Justin Verlander pitched well against the Kansas City Royals at Telus Centre. The right-hander led his team to a win, 4-3. Marcos Tabata, now 4-1, was credited with the win. He allowed no runs on 1 hit, while striking out 0 and walking 0. The last-place Mounties go to 39-44.

Desmond Jennings was the walk-off hero for Vancouver. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Mounties left fielder hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"Enjoyed this one," Verlander told the Vancouver Today. "But it's back to work tomorrow."
