The Tampa Bay Rays picked up a win at Tropicana Field, knocking off the Kansas City Royals, 6-1. Starting pitcher Clay Buchholz, who captured player of the game honors, was a big reason why. The win moves Tampa Bay to a record of 14-10.

Matt Wieters put Tampa Bay in front, 3-0, when he took Kyle Freeland downtown. His 2-run home run came with two out in the bottom of the second. It was his 2nd home run of the season.

"Winning the game is always the first objective," Wieters said.
