The St. Louis Cardinals and Kansas City Royals cranked it up at Busch Stadium.

The Kansas City Royals got a rather unremarkable outing from starting pitcher Kevin Brown, but it was good enough for the club to take a 6-4 decision over the St. Louis Cardinals. Brown picked up the win for Kansas City, going 8.2 innings. He gave up 4 runs on 8 hits. He now sports a record of 19-7.

Early in the game, center fielder Andruw Jones had a solo home run for Kansas City. It was his 31st home run of the season and put the Royals on top, 1-0.

"We'd like to put some distance between ourselves and the rest of the division," said Brown.

Kansas City improves to 88-58 with the win. They lead their division by 6 games.
