Royals Roll Past Phillies, 6-2
The 6-2 Kansas City win over Philadelphia was due in large part to Jarred Kelenic. The Royals designated hitter went 2 for 4 with a home run and a double, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. Kansas City is now 67-81, Philadelphia 93-55.

With Kansas City trailing 1-0 in the top of the fourth, Kelenic hit a fastball from Carlos Rodón for a 3-run home run. It was his 10th home run of the season and put the Royals ahead, 3-1.

Kelenic said his team "played with focus and determination."
