Multi-HR Day for Larkin as Royals Overpower Yankees, 11-8
The Kansas City Royals topped the New York Yankees, 11-8, in Federal League action at Royals Stadium. The player of the game was Kansas City shortstop Barry Larkin. The Yankees fall to 8-10 and continue their uninspiring start to the 1994 season.

Orlando Merced contributed an important at-bat in the bottom of the seventh. With the bases loaded, he hit a 2-run single. It was one at-bat that helped send Kansas City to the win.

"We'll savor this win," Merced told the Kansas City Chronicle, "then get ready for the next game."
