Baltimore got a terrific performance from designated hitter Shohei Ohtani, but it wasn't enough to beat the Kansas City Royals. Kansas City won the Kauffman Stadium contest, 5-4. Ohtani was the player of the game despite being on the losing side. He was 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. Jordan Zimmermann picked up the win, improving his season record to 6-7. He struck out 5 in 5 innings. Carl Edwards Jr. got the save, his 20th in 23 chances.

Nolan Arenado, who is on pace for 127 RBI this season, aided the Kansas City cause with a 2-run home run in the bottom of the first. For the game, the third baseman was 1 for 4 with a home run, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once.

"Both teams played hard," said Kansas City manager Bryce Shuck.

The last-place Royals lifted their record to 57-76.
