Kyle Snyder held LA to three hits; Jason Grimsley and Mike MacDougal held them hitless over the final three innings as the Royals topped the Dodgers 2-1. Snyder notched his first career win with just 78 pitches over six innings. He struck out four and walked none, as his ERA dropped to 3.77 on the season. He’s 1-3. Grimsley also struck out four batters in two innings of work, while MacDougal worked a perfect ninth for his 13th save. Solo home runs from Carlos Beltran in the second inning and Angel Berroa in the fifth provided just enough offense for Kansas City in a game that lasted just two hours and sixteen minutes. The win snapped a three-game losing streak.
