 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Mark Teahen had two triples and five RBIs and Tony Pena Jr. had four hits, leading Kansas City past St. Louis 17-8 Thursday night for the Royals' first series win at home against the Cardinals in six years.
Thirteen batters went to the plate in the eight-run second inning and 10 batted in the six-run fourth for Kansas City's feast-or-famine offense.
The Royals have averaged 9.57 runs in their seven wins this month, including a 17-5 drubbing last Sunday against Philadelphia. But if the Royals aren't scoring large, they're hardly scoring at all, averaging only 1.5 runs in six June losses.
