A good performance from designated hitter Nelson Cruz helped the Tampa Bay Rays defeat the Kansas City Royals, 9-6. Cruz went 3 for 4 with 3 singles and a walk, while scoring 3 times for the Rays. Kansas City drops to 12-14.

Tampa Bay took a 7-6 lead on Michael Conforto's 4th double of the season. The run-scoring double, which Conforto hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Kansas City pitcher JoJo Romero shaking his head.

"It feels good to get this one," Conforto told the Tampa Bay Gazette.
