Braves Bang Out 7-5 Win Versus Kansas City
The Atlanta Braves beat the Kansas City Royals, 7-5, at SunTrust Park. The win was largely due to the efforts of right fielder Domingo Santana, who captured player of the game honors. He went 2-3 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3. Miles Mikolas went 7 innings for Atlanta to pick up the win. The right-hander was charged with 3 earned runs. He scattered 8 hits, while walking 0 and striking out 4. His record improves to 7-9. Atlanta is now 45-58.

The Braves got a big at-bat from left fielder Ben Gamel. For the game, Gamel was 2 for 4 with 2 singles. In the bottom of the fourth, with runners on 1st and 3rd, he stroked a run-scoring single. His 66th hit of the season gave Atlanta a 3-2 lead.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Gamel told the Atlanta Times. "It's as simple as that."
