Royals rally past Angels in last at bat win
Kansas City overcame an early six run deficit to beat Anaheim 8-6 on Tuesday night. Tim Salmon hit a grand slam off Jeff Suppan and Garret Anderson added a two run shot for the Angels, but the Royals exploited an Angels bullpen collapse and scored three in the ninth to snatch the victory. Mike Sweeney collected four hits in a four for four performance, and KC benefitted from timely two out hits to surge back. Joe Randa and Jermaine Dye provided the core offense while Tony Muser noted the team's fight and desire to start a winning streak.

Grayson Stadium's Orange Monster and Savannah's baseball lore
At Grayson Stadium in Savannah the left field wall bears a 290 foot marker, nicknamed the Orange Monster, with former manager Bobby Dews noting it may be even shorter. The 310 foot right field line and 420 foot center create pitcher friendly gaps, while the aging 8,000 seat venue hosts memories from Lou Brissie to Hank Aaron. The Sand Gnats fear financial strain amid plans for a new stadium, weighing options from school reuse to SCAD ownership with Luis Tiant coaching.
