Devil Rays Win at Kansas City, 5-3
Spirited fans at Royals Stadium greeted the Kansas City Royals for their clash with the Orlando Devil Rays.

Orlando designated hitter Ron Gant played a vital role in his team's 5-3 triumph over Kansas City. He went 2 for 3 with a home run, a triple, and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3 for Orlando. After today's action, Orlando sits at 14-19, while Kansas City falls to 26-9.

Gant had a key at-bat for Orlando early in the game. With a runner on 1st, he hit a 2-run home run. It was his 9th home run of the season and gave Orlando an early 2-0 lead.

"It was a solid team effort," said Gant after the game.
