Dozier Leads Royals to Win
The Kansas City Royals topped the Texas Rangers by a score of 9-3. Leading the way was third baseman Hunter Dozier. Dozier went 4 for 5 with a home run, a triple, and 2 singles, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once for the Royals. Glenn Sparkman picked up the win, improving his season record to 2-3. He struck out 6 in 7.1 innings. Kansas City goes to 34-39, Texas to 27-47.

It could have been a different outcome for Kansas City, had it not been for Austin Dean, the 26-year old left fielder . Dean contributed a 2-run single in the top of the fourth inning to put Kansas City up, 5-2.

"We'll kick back tonight, then get set for the next one," Dozier said.
