MJ Melendez hit a grand slam in the 6th inning, ending a 12-pitch at-bat, as the Kansas City Royals defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-2. Royals' Seth Lugo became the first AL pitcher with 10 wins, while Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto's start was cut short due to triceps tightness. The grand slam marked only the second time since 1970 that a grand slam occurred on a full count with at least 12 pitches in the at-bat.
