The Kansas City Royals and Baltimore Orioles completed their game despite the rain.

In the 8-6 Kansas City win over Baltimore, the impact of Willy Adames was substantial. Adames went 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Kansas City reliever Ryan Helsley picked up the win, upping his record to 1-0. J.P. Feyereisen took the loss.

Keston Hiura came through with a big-time hit for Kansas City. The designated hitter smacked a solo home run in the top of the 11th inning to give his team the lead, 7-6. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"We just try to have good at-bats, whether we're winning, losing, or tied," said Hiura.

The Royals, now 5-0, have hit the ground running this season.
