Victory Pushes Royals Record to 41-22
The first-place Kansas City Royals took on the New York Yankees at Royals Stadium.

The Kansas City Royals topped the New York Yankees by the score of 8-5, with the biggest share of the credit going to center fielder Andruw Jones. Jones was 3-3 with a home run and 2 singles. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for the Royals on the day. Rick Reed picked up the win, improving his season record to 2-1. He struck out 7 in 7.1 innings.

In the bottom of the fifth, Jones had one of his most important at-bats: a 2-run home run off Brian Bohanon that staked the Royals to a 6-4 lead.

"I was able to barrel up some pitches," said Jones.

The Royals own a robust 41-22 mark.
