Kansas City used the timely hitting of Gareth Busby to capture the win. The third baseman socked a grand slam home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Royals ahead, 6-1. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a big one.

"I'm just happy to help the team win," Matthews told the Kansas City Citizen.
