The Cincinnati Royals knocked off the Boston Whistlers, 8-6, at Whislters Park. Mike Rankin was a big reason Cincinnati won. The catcher went 4-5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles. He drove in 5 runs and scored once. Cincinnati has run its win streak to 4 straight.

Cincinnati grabbed the momentum in the top of the fifth, when Rankin hit a grand slam home run off Joe Schroeder. His 13th home run of the season put the Royals out in front, 7-3.

"Mike was ready to go. Big day for him," said Cincinnati manager Justin Aaron.
