Multi-HR Day for Wilkins as Royals Overpower Spiders, 12-6
The Kansas City Royals knocked off the Cleveland Spiders, 12-6, at League Park. Rick Wilkins, who captured player of the game honors, was a big reason Kansas City won. The catcher went 2-4 with 2 home runs and a walk. He scored 3 runs and drove in 4. Kansas City reliever Bobby J. Jones picked up the win, upping his record to 4-2. Tim Wakefield absorbed the loss. The Royals own a robust 51-27 mark.

Roberto Alomar produced a go-ahead single for Kansas City in the top of the sixth. With two out and a runner on 3rd, Alomar hit a run-scoring single off Tim Wakefield. It put the Royals in front, 7-6.

"Baseball is about momentum," said Alomar, "and we feel we've got it in our favor after that win."
