Royals Deal Braves 8-2 Defeat
The Kansas City Royals powered past the Atlanta Braves, 8-2, at Truist Park. Corbin Carroll provided some of the pop. He hit 2 home runs. He scored 3 times and drove in 2. Kansas City reliever Walker Buehler picked up the win to move to 15-9. Zack Wheeler suffered the loss. The win gives Kansas City a season record of 90-71.

The Braves had been locked in a 2-2 tie with the Royals going into the top of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the three-time Great Glove Award winner Matt Chapman came to the plate. Chapman hit a 2-run home run on a 0-1 curveball from Atlanta hurler Zack Wheeler. It was Chapman's 23rd home run of the year.

"Our guys are never satisfied," said Kansas City manager Jim H.
