Multi-HR Game for Jones in 7-3 Win
Kansas City center fielder Andruw Jones was instrumental in his team's 7-3 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. Jones, who is on pace to hit 42 home runs this season, went 3-5 with 3 runs scored to lead the offensive attack for the Royals. Kansas City is now 45-24, 5½ games up in the Federal League Central Division.

Kansas City needed the clutch hitting of Tim Naehring to notch the win. The third baseman hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Royals on top, 4-1. For the game, Naehring had 1 home run and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

"We'll put this win in our pocket and go after the next one," said Jones.
