Royals Win at Charlotte, 3-2
The Kansas City Royals scored a 3-2 win versus the Charlotte Knights at Comiskey Park. Kansas City pitcher Kevin Brown nabbed top player honors in the tight contest. With their winning streak at 5, the Royals have raced to a strong start this season.

It could have been a different outcome for Kansas City, had it not been for Jeromy Burnitz, the top prospect . Burnitz contributed a 2-run double in the top of the third inning to put Kansas City up, 2-0.

"Coulda, shoulda, woulda," said Charlotte manager Tyler Vuxta. "We had our chances and didn't cash in."
