Royals Use Late Rally to Win
The Kansas City Royals beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 6-3, at Three Rivers Stadium. Walt Smith, in particular, was impressive. He belted 2 home runs. With the win, Kansas City boosts its record to 6-8.

Kansas City used the clutch hitting of Ronald Brown to snag the win. The left fielder drilled a 3-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Royals ahead, 6-3. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a crucial one.

"It's the best feeling when you come through for your teammates," said Smith.
