 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - The table was set for Kansas City's feast-or-famine offense and the Royals pigged out. Two triples and five RBIs for Mark Teahen. Four hits for Tony Pena Jr. Three RBIs each for Emil Brown and David DeJesus, and a mammoth home run for Alex Gordon for the second night in a row.
It all added up to a 17-8 victory Thursday night over St. Louis one night after the Cardinals shut them out on one hit through eight innings. The Royals have averaged almost 10 runs in seven wins this month, including 17-run drubbings of two National League contenders within the last five days.
But if they aren't scoring large, they're hardly scoring at all, averaging only 1.5 runs in six June losses.
