Kansas City starter Bobby J. Jones pitched effectively against the St. Louis Cardinals at Royals Stadium. The right-hander led his team to a 5-4 win. Kansas City is now 66-44, 3 games up in the Federal League Central Division.

Barry Larkin hit a run-scoring double off Derek Lilliquist in the bottom of the ninth, which put the Royals in front, 5-4. In addition to the double, Larkin had 2 singles, while going 3 for 4.

"Winning in the last at-bat, there's nothing else like it," said Larkin.
