Brown Finds Groove in 9-1 Triumph
The Kansas City Royals picked up a win at Busch Stadium, knocking off the St. Louis Cardinals, 9-1. Starting pitcher Kevin Brown, who captured player of the game honors, was a big reason why. Kansas City has now won 5 straight.

Brown gave Kansas City a solid start. The right-hander, who is listed at 6' 4", 205 lbs, allowed 1 run on 6 hits over 9 innings.

"Throwing strikes was the main thing," Brown said.
