Kansas City parlayed a decent outing from starter Stephen Strasburg into a solid win over the Baltimore Orioles. The final score was 3-2. In 8 innings, Strasburg surrendered 6 hits, while striking out 7 and walking 0. He allowed 2 runs. The AL Central Division-leading Royals are 63-41.

Josh Harrison, who led the AL in triples with 10 last year, had a direct impact on the outcome. Harrison contributed a run-scoring hit-by-pitch in the top of the sixth inning to put Kansas City up, 3-1.

"It's still just a game," said Harrison, "whether you win or lose."
