Royals Beat Diamondbacks, 11-4
The Kansas City Royals beat the Arizona Diamondbacks, 11-4, at Kauffman Stadium. Nate Clevenger, who is tied for 9th in the AL with a .389 on-base percentage, starred for Kansas City. He was 2 for 3 with 2 singles and 2 walks, while scoring 2 and driving in 3. The defeat makes Arizona 67-84.

Alfredo Mendoza had a big 2-run triple for the Royals in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Kansas City leading 3-1 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a fastball from 25-year old right-handed pitcher Mac Reilly and swatted a triple to left-center. It was his 2nd triple of the season, and more importantly, it put the Royals ahead, 5-1.

"It feels good, just a great win all around," Clevenger said after the game.
