The Royals edged the Giants 3-2 Tuesday night at Kauffman Stadium. Luinder Avila turned in the best start of his young career, striking out a career-high seven over six and a third innings to improve to 5-3. Nick Loftin delivered the go-ahead RBI single, Carter Jensen stayed hot with his 14th home run of the season, and Alex Lange closed it out for his ninth save as Kansas City picked up the win. Bobby Witt Jr was not in the lineup, nursing a sore back; Jac Caglianone left the game with a sore shoulder. The Royals and Giants wrap up today starting at one.
