Appier, Pirates Come Up Short in Bid for Road Win; Royals Take 1-0 Series Lead
When the games really matter, the Kansas City Royals put on their best show, beating the Pittsburgh Pirates by a final score of 3-2 today. Kevin Appier earned player of the game honors, as he threw 9 innings of 5-hit ball. Kansas City now leads Pittsburgh 1-0 in the best-of-7 affair.

The Royals beat the Pirates in part due to timely hitting. Case in point: the two-out single John Olerud produced in the bottom of the 11th. Batting against Pittsburgh pitcher Bryan Harvey, Olerud gave his team a 3-2 lead when he hit a walk-off run-scoring single.

"This place was rocking at the end," Olerud said.

Game 2 is set to be played tomorrow at Royals Stadium in Kansas City. Slated to start are Butch Henry for Pittsburgh and Denny Neagle for Kansas City.
