Josh Rehwaldt tied the game with a solo homerun before Spencer Sarringar and Scott Combs each followed with RBI singles. Mike Hart drew a bases loaded walk and another run scored on a fielder's choice.

Jabari Henry crushed a solo homerun to begin the third frame and Trevor Achenbach smacked a solo shot in the fifth. But Kansas City scored the game's next ten runs, including nine in the seventh inning, to retake the lead for good.

Combs led the offensive effort with two hits while Ryan Zimmerman allowed four runs on five hits over six innings. The Canaries are now 54-43 and return to action Sunday at 1:05pm.
