The Kansas City Royals topped the Milwaukee Brewers, 9-5, in AL action at Kauffman Stadium. The standout performance belonged to Kansas City pitcher and Britton, South Dakota, native Duane Below. Sergio Romo recorded the save. In save chances, he's now 31 for 36. Kansas City has now won 3 in a row.

The Royals got an important contribution from shortstop Rolando Acosta, who in the bottom of the fourth punched a first pitch slider into left-center for a 2-run double. It was his 31st double of the season and put the Royals ahead, 5-1.

"Throwing strikes was the main thing," Below said.
