Armelini Stars in 13-9 Loss to Kansas City
Esteban Armelini had a good game, but he could not keep the Atlanta Braves from falling, 13-9, to the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium.

Randy Ruiz, who finished 4th in the AL in doubles with 50 in 2006, contributed to the Kansas City win with a 2-run single in the bottom of the second. For the game, the designated hitter had 2 hits in 5 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 2 runs scored, and 3 RBI.

"I've never been a good loser," admitted losing manager Luis Quintana, before walking out on reporters.
