With catcher Mike Meyerhoff leading the charge, the Kansas City Royals defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates, 11-2, at Kauffman Stadium.

With the victory, the Royals upped their record to 68-53.

The Royals got an important contribution from third baseman Mike Jaquez, who in the bottom of the second hit a forkball into left-center for a 3-run home run. It was his 38th home run of the season and put the Royals ahead, 5-1.

Said losing manager Michael Jank: "Give the Royals credit. They took advantage of our mistakes."
