Kansas City registered a win at Kauffman Stadium by beating the Arizona Diamondbacks, 1-0. Pitcher Jaime Melendez was one reason why the Royals triumphed. Kansas City has now won 3 straight, while the Diamondbacks have lost 5 in a row.

Melendez dominated for Kansas City, raising his record to 8-11. Arizona hitters had few good at-bats against the right-hander, who scattered 3 hits over 8 innings while striking out 3.

"It wasn't a very good day at the ballpark," said Arizona manager Steven Luker.
