The Kansas City Royals picked up a win at Nationals Park, knocking off the Washington Nationals, 2-1. Starting pitcher Alex Duran played a key role in the triumph. Duran went 8 innings to notch the win. He scattered 10 hits, walked 0, and struck out 7. His record improves to 7-6. Victor Vasquez notched his 18th save in 19 chances.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Juan Morales? The Kansas City left fielder had a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the sixth inning to put the Royals on top, 2-1. For the game, Morales had 1 double and 1 single in 3 at-bats.

"If you pitch well, you give yourself some opportunities," said Kansas City manager Chris Graves.

The win puts Kansas City at 33-48.
