The right-hander allowed no runs on 3 hits over 3.1 innings. He's now 4-0 on the season. Kansas City is now 41-52, New York 42-52.

With Kansas City leading 6-5 in the top of the seventh, Masson hit a fastball from António Seroseres for a solo home run. It was his 7th home run of the season and put the Royals ahead, 7-5.

"We came out aggressive," said Royals manager Jim Tracy. "We came out swinging the bats."
