Royals 2, Angels 0
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Billy Butler hit a two-run homer in the ninth for the Royals. Jeff Francoeur singled with one out off Scott Downs, then Butler hit a blast behind the outfield padding in left-center that bounced into play. The umpires ruled it a double before video review showed it to be a homer. Felipe Paulino, in his first start after 19 relief outings, pitched five innings and has gone 91/3 shutout innings since being acquired last week from the Rockies.
