Royals Best Devil Rays in Pitching Duel
Justin Thompson never let Orlando get something going. The Kansas City left-hander commanded his sinker in pitching the Royals to a 2-1 win. With the win, Kansas City pushes its record to 3-2.

A key at-bat came in the bottom of the fourth inning. With runners on 1st and 3rd, the batter, Rick Wilkins, hit a run-scoring single. It made the score 2-1, Kansas City, and helped them go on to win.

"The old adage is true," said Wilkins. "Good pitching stops good hitting."
