Royals Edge Phoenix in Pitching Duel
The Castle was the site of a remarkable pitchers' duel.

Phoenix wasted a solid 6.1-inning effort from starting pitcher Felipe Ayala, losing to Cincinnati, 1-0, at The Castle. Colin Lambert got the win, improving to 5-4. He worked 5 innings, giving up no runs on 3 hits, while striking out 4 and walking 5. The save went to Roberto Salazar, his 7th this season.

In the bottom of the second inning, right fielder Jason Paulsen had a run-scoring double for Cincinnati. It was his 1st double of the season and put the Royals on top, 1-0.

"It's nice to deliver when your team's counting on you," said Paulsen.

Cincinnati has now won 4 straight.
