Royals Beaten By Angels, 8-1
The Los Angeles Angels topped the Kansas City Royals by a score of 8-1. Leading the way was center fielder Dru Baker. Baker went 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3 for the Angels. The winning pitcher was Tylor Megill. His record now stands at 1-0. The right-hander went 5.2 innings, allowing no runs on 2 hits for the Angels. Today's win puts Los Angeles at 17-22, while Kansas City falls to 19-21.

The Royals had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Angels going into the bottom of the second inning. That changed quickly when the 30-year old second baseman Jorge Polanco came to the plate. Polanco hit a 2-run home run on a full count fastball from Kansas City hurler Corey Kluber. It was Polanco's 6th home run of the year.

"The name of the game is scoring runs," Polanco said. "We did a good job of that today."
