Royals Solve Knights, 5-4
|
Charlotte designated hitter Jason Giambi had a terrific game, but it still wasn't enough to get his team a win. Giambi was 2-3 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2, even as Kansas City beat the Knights, 5-4. Giambi was named the player of the game despite the loss. Denny Neagle, credited with the win, is now 12-4. He allowed 3 runs on 5 hits in 7 innings. Armando Benitez got the save, his 21st in 27 chances.
With two out in the bottom of the fifth, Reggie L. Sanders hit a go-ahead run-scoring single. It was his 33rd hit of the season and with it the Royals took a 3-2 lead.
"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Sanders. "And not try to do too much."
Kansas City leads the Federal League Central Division by 6 games.
