Royals Score Late, Stun Cardinals, 3-1
The Kansas City Royals, despite a fine performance by St. Louis pitcher Ed Franklin, grabbed a 3-1 win at Kauffman Stadium. Franklin allowed 1 run over 6.2 innings. Mike Long notched the win in relief. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2.1 innings. His record now sits at 1-0. The winning streak has now reached 5 games for Kansas City.

Kansas City took a 2-1 lead on Hervé Masson's 3rd triple of the season. The run-scoring triple, which Masson hit in the bottom of the eighth, left St. Louis pitcher Carlos A. Salazar visibly frustrated.

"If you chase it, you need to get it," said Kansas City skipper Jim Tracy.
