The Tampa Bay Rays downed the Kansas City Royals, 10-3, at Tropicana Field. The Rays were led by Neil Walker, who captured player of the game honors. He was 4-4 with a triple, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. Cole Hamels, who went 7 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 3 runs on 7 hits, while walking 3 and striking out 4. His record now stands at 9-6. James Pazos converted his 6th save in 8 tries.

Matt Duffy had a big 2-run double for the Rays in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Tampa Bay leading 2-1 and runners on 1st and 3rd, he got a fastball from Chris Sale and stroked the double to left. It was his 20th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Rays ahead, 4-1.

"I like the roll we're on," said Tampa Bay manager TJ Barnaba.

Tampa Bay has 5 straight wins, Kansas City 4 straight losses.
