The Royals pounded Jeff Weaver in the first inning--starting the game off with five hits in a row against him--and Weaver was gone after one third of an inning. He gave up six earned runs and Gil Meche was able to cruise to his second win of the season. He didn't give up any earned runs. He did give up three unearned runs after Mark Grudzielanek and Tony Pena made errors. Brandon Duckworth came in and got an old school save--going the final three innings.

Everybody in the Royals line up had at least one hit. Mike Sweeney had two hits and Grudzielanek had three.
