Garcia fires Cardinals past Royals in I-70 tilt

Royals starter Yordano Ventura lasted just three innings, giving up four hits and two runs. He left the game then and the Royals' medical staff determined he had "right hand weakness."

MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Jay jolts offense: With just his second extra-base hit since coming off the disabled list on May 29, Jay drove in the team's first run. His two-out, second-inning triple scored Randal Grichuk, who had reached on an infield single. Garcia followed with his first RBI hit since 2012.

The big chance: The Royals had few good swings against Garcia and had just two real scoring threats.
