Multi-HR Day for Wilkins as Royals Overpower Cardinals, 18-4
Kansas City catcher Rick Wilkins played a vital role in his team's 18-4 triumph over St. Louis. He went 3 for 6 with 2 home runs and a double. He scored 3 times and drove in 4 for Kansas City. Kansas City has an impressive 85-41 record.

One of the stars of the game was Kansas City designated hitter Jim Thome. In the top of the sixth with no one out, he got a slider from Luis Aquino and hit a grand slam. That made the score 10-3 in favor of the Royals.

"I had some good swings out there," said Wilkins.
