The Royals got a big at-bat from left fielder Jeromy Burnitz. For the game, Burnitz was 1 for 4 with a home run. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. In the bottom of the first, with runners on 2nd and 3rd, he stroked a 3-run home run. His 28th home run of the season gave Kansas City a 3-0 lead.

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