Owens, Royals Beat Diamondbacks, 9-4
Kansas City (AZL) third baseman Mike Owens played a vital role in his team's 9-4 triumph over Arizona (AZL). He went 4-4 with a home run and 3 singles. He scored 3 times and drove in 2 for Kansas City (AZL). José Nodarse earned the win after being summoned from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed 2 runs on 1 hit in 3 innings. His record is now 2-0. The Royals, now 19-22, know that wins in August count the same as wins in September.

Though it wasn't a flawless game -- few are -- the fans who filled the stands at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick seemed to enjoy watching the Arizona Rookie League action.

"The boys were really swinging the bats today," winning manager Craig Stammen said.
