The Kansas City Royals found a way to end a tough home stand with a victory, edging the St. Louis Cardinals 2-1 in the series finale.

 

Michael Wacha threw five innings of one-run ball, while Maikel Garcia and Dairon Blanco were responsible for driving in the team's two runs.

 

The Royals now sit in a tie for third place in a very competitive American League Central division, with the Twins, Guardians, and Royals all within a half game of each other. Detroit leads the division with a record of 31-16.

 

Kansas City heads to the West Coast for a road trip, taking on the San Francisco Giants in a three-game series. Kris Bubic gets the ball against Robbie Ray of San Francisco, with coverage beginning at 8 p.m. CT tonight on the Mighty 690 KGGF.
