Devil Rays Lose to Royals in Walk Off
Kansas City beat Orlando at Royals Stadium, eking out a 4-3 win. The win was due in large part to pitcher Bobby J. Jones, who earned player of the game honors. Kansas City leads the Federal League Central Division by 4 games.

Kansas City took a 4-3 lead on Armando Rios's 6th home run of the season. The solo home run came off Orlando pitcher Matt Mantei in the bottom of the 12th.

"This place went bonkers at the end," Jones said.
