Royals Need Extra Frames to Get Past Spiders
The Kansas City Royals picked up a win at Royals Stadium, knocking off the Cleveland Spiders, 5-4. Starting pitcher Rheal Cormier was an essential part of his team's success. Kansas City reliever John Habyan was the winner. His record is now 2-2. Roberto Hernandez took the loss. Kansas City improves to 86-42 with the win. They lead their division by 8½ games.

The game was at a stalemate until left fielder Jeromy Burnitz came to bat in the bottom of the tenth. Facing Cleveland pitcher Roberto Hernandez, he hit a 1-1 fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Kansas City on top, 5-4.

"Exciting game to play in," said Burnitz. "Getting the win makes it even better."
