The Kansas City Royals beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 14-1, at Three Rivers Stadium. Kansas City center fielder Bill Adams had an outstanding performance. He was 3-6 with 2 home runs and a double. He scored 3 times and drove in 6. Clint Hicks, who went 7 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 1 run on 4 hits, while walking 1 and striking out 3. His record now stands at 4-1. Kansas City is now 22-16, 3 games up in the American League Meyer.

Kansas City relied on the hitting of Vicente Silva to pick up the win. The right fielder clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Royals on top, 3-0. For the game, Silva had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Getting a lot of baserunners and getting some timely hits, it's a good combination," said Adams.
