The Kansas City Royals got a rain-soaked win over the Florida Marlins at Joe Robbie Stadium.

Kansas City rode a good effort from starter Rheal Cormier to beat the Florida Marlins at Joe Robbie Stadium. The final score was 3-0. Kansas City has a mark of 5-4 after the win.

Kansas City used the bat of Tony Eusebio to get the win. The catcher hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Royals ahead, 2-0. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"I still think this team has room for improvement," Eusebio told the Kansas City News.
