Jim Rooker's batting ability paid off when the Royals' pitcher won his own game with a two-run single in the seventh inning to beat the Brewers, 3-1. With the score tied, 1-1, Jackie Hernandez walked and stopped at third on a double by Ellie Rodriguez. Rooker, a former outfielder in the minor leagues, then rapped his single for the victory.
