Royals Defeat Angels, 5-2
The Los Angeles Angels could not turn a fine performance from pitcher Rod Swift into a win. Instead, the Kansas City Royals prevailed, 5-2, in 12 innings. Swift threw 6.0 innings of 3-hit ball. The Royals improved their record to 66-85 with the win over Los Angeles.

Kansas City used a timely hit from Greg Lópes to get the win. The first baseman stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the 12th inning to put the Royals ahead, 3-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"There's no quit in this team," said Royals manager Jim Tracy.
