Cincinnati Wins, Sherlock 3-for-4
Royals third baseman Heath Sherlock left his mark on his team's 15-6 win over the Toronto Trash Pandas. Sherlock, who is tied for 2nd in the NC in bases on balls with 101, went 3 for 4 with a home run, a triple, and a double, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 4 for Cincinnati in the contest. Gary Barone earned the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 1.2 innings. His record is now 4-0. Cincinnati sits in second place in the National Conference North East Division at 77-54.

With Cincinnati leading 11-4 in the bottom of the seventh, Sherlock batted against Toronto pitcher Ramon Landa. Sherlock hit a cutter to center for a 3-run home run. His 19th home run of the season put the Royals on top, 14-4.

"Nice to tuck this win away," said Sherlock.
