Royals Turn Back Texas, 5-4
Jeimer Candelario had a good game, but he could not keep the Texas Rangers from falling, 5-4, to the Kansas City Royals at Globe Life Park in Arlington. The Texas third baseman slugged 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice in the loss. Carl Edwards Jr. locked down his 7th save. The Rangers, now 33-19, have lost 4 straight.

Kansas City used the timely hitting of Raimel Tapia to seize the win. The center fielder stroked a 2-run single in the top of the sixth inning to put the Royals on top, 5-2. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We found a way to get it done," Tapia said.
