Royals Get Close Win Over Sun Rays
Kansas City right fielder Orlando Merced played a vital role in his team's 8-7 triumph over Orlando. He was 2-4 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 3 for Kansas City. John Habyan earned his 7th save in 8 tries. The first-place Royals have won 4 straight games.

Merced had a game-changing home run in the top of the ninth. On a 2-1 slider from Rod Beck, he banged a 3-run home run to right-center, giving the Royals a 8-7 lead. It was the 9th home run of the year for Merced.

"I just try to see the ball and put a good swing on it," said Merced.
