Royals Score Late to Nip Heathens, 3-2
Cincinnati beat Halifax on the strength of starting pitcher John Wright's fine effort. The right-hander led his team to a win, 3-2. Cincinnati now sits at 26-27, while Halifax falls to 30-23.

Cincinnati used the timely hitting of Mike Rankin to seize the win. The catcher stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the 12th inning to put the Royals on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"It takes a lot of things to win a ballgame," said Cincinnati manager Justin Aaron. "It's usually not just one thing."
