Royals edge Rays as Buck lifts Royals on road
The Royals snapped a 0-for-19 bases loaded streak with Alex Sanchez, Julio Lugo, and Aubry Huff loading the bases in the third before Phelps drove in two. John Buck added an RBI double and a two-run night prior, and Emil Brown scored on Buck’s earlier RBI double. Kansas City overcame a brief injury scare as Mike Sweeney left with a sore side and Ken Harvey exited with back tightness. The Devil Rays, who started 3-17 on the road last season, lost a key late-game battle and failed to nine innings for just the second time in their history.
