The Baltimore Orioles got a sterling performance from pitcher Gerrit Cole, but the Kansas City Royals still prevailed, 6-4. Cole threw 7.1 innings allowing 2 runs. Kansas City reliever Ryan Pressly picked up the win, raising his record to 6-3. Joe Kelly was tagged with the loss. The Royals lead the American League Central Division by 2 games.

Kansas City used the timely hitting of Mike Yastrzemski to seize the win. The right fielder stroked a 2-run single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Royals on top, 6-4. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"This was a good win for us," said Yastrzemski. "It's one more step toward our ultimate goal."
