Rangers 3, Royals 1
ARLINGTON, Texas — Alexi Ogando pitched effectively into the seventh and Michael Young extended his hitting streak to 13 games for the Rangers. Ogando held the Royals scoreless until Kila Ka'aihue led off the seventh with a homer on the right-hander's 114th and final pitch. By losing the first two games in the three-game set, Kansas City became the last team in the majors to lose a series this season. It had won three series and split three.
