Kansas City Loses, 3-2, in 11
The San Francisco Giants earned a close win over the Kansas City Royals, thanks in part to Alfonso Meléndez. The San Francisco right-hander, who is tied for 5th in the AL in wins with 12, played a key role in the 3-2 victory. The first-place Royals now sit at 67-59.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Kevin Henderson? The 25-year old shortstop Henderson stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the 11th inning to put San Francisco up, 3-2. For the game, he was 3 for 5, including 1 double and 2 singles.

"Enjoyed this one," Meléndez told the San Francisco Observer. "But it's back to work tomorrow."
