(AP) — Harold Ramirez had three hits and drove in two runs as the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Kansas City Royals 3-2.

Ramirez has a hit in all five games since returning Tuesday from a broken right thumb and is hitting .337 durng a resurgent season. The Rays have won seven of nine, and held opponents to three runs or fewer in eight of their last nine games.

Kansas City right-hander Zack Greinke was lifted due to forearm cramping after allowing two runs and five hits over four innings. The 38-year old was checked by a trainer with Jose Siri batting with two outs in the fourth but stayed in the game.

The Royals next take on the White Sox Monday afternoon with first pitch at 1:10 central on KFEQ Radio (680, 95.3) in St. Joseph.
