Knights Nip Royals, 6-5
The Charlotte Knights picked up a win at Royals Stadium, knocking off the Kansas City Royals, 6-5. On the mound for Charlotte was right-hander Fumiya Nishiguchi, who played a pivotal role in the win. Charlotte leads the Federal League Central Division by 2 games.

Barry Bonds had a nice at-bat for the Knights with one out in the top of the ninth. With a runner on 2nd, the left fielder hit a run-scoring single, which would prove important in the Charlotte win.

"I liked his command," said Charlotte manager Tyler Vuxta. "Fumiya was throwing strikes."
