Justice Helps Royals Run Win Streak to 5
The Kansas City Royals defeated the Minnesota Twins, 11-4, at Royals Stadium today. Leading the charge for Kansas City was left fielder David Justice. He was 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. The hot start continues for the defending champion Royals, who took their 21st win in 29 games this year.

With Kansas City leading 3-2 in the bottom of the fifth, Justice hit a sinker from Juan Guzman for a 3-run home run. It was his 7th home run of the season and put the Royals ahead, 6-2.

"We put it together today and came out with the win," Justice said in postgame remarks. "That's the main thing."
