Despite a fine performance by right fielder Roman Downey, the Kansas City Royals lost to the Texas Rangers, 7-6. Downey was 2-4 with a home run. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Texas starter Gavin Nelson was credited with the win after throwing 100 pitches over 5.1 innings. His record now stands at 5-3. Kyle Curve finished the game for Texas and earned his 10th save.

John Giesbrecht, who finished 5th in the AL in wins above replacement with 6.5 in 2045, helped out the Texas cause in the bottom of the third inning with a run-scoring walk. For the game, the second baseman drew 1 walk in 4 plate appearances.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Giesbrecht.

Texas is now 50-47, Kansas City 48-48.
