Left-hander Danny Duffy turned in a superb start, going 6 2/3 innings while giving up six hits and one run.
That one run came in the fifth inning when Yan Gomes doubled to left and Carlos Santana floated a soft liner just past Duffy into center field, scoring Gomes.
Game, set, match. The Royals not only didn't score, they managed just one hit.
