Joakim Soria (1-1) allowed a homer by Eric Hinske in bottom of the 10th but then struck out Ben Zobrist and got Akinori Iwamura to hit a game-ending groundout.
David DeJesus had three hits, including a two-run triple for the Royals, who won for the second time in their last seven games. Aviles had three hits.
Tampa Bay had a seven-game win streak halted.
