Royals Bang Out 7-2 Win Versus Cincinnati
The Kansas City Royals topped the Cincinnati Reds, 7-2, in Federal League action at Royals Stadium. The player of the game was Kansas City pitcher Kevin Tapani. The Royals are off to an underwhelming start as they look to defend their championship, notching only their 4th win in 9 games.

Kansas City grabbed control in the bottom of the sixth. With one out and runners on 1st and 3rd, Jim Thome delivered a 3-run home run, to make it 3-0 in favor of the Royals.

"Win or lose, we pick each other up in this clubhouse," Tapani told the Kansas City Chronicle.
