Steve Brye batted in three runs with a bases-loaded double in the seventh inning and added two more RBIs with a single in the eighth as the Twins sewed up a 14-5 victory over the Royals. Eric Soderholm homered with a man on base in the second and drove in another run with a single in the third when the Twins picked up four tainted tallies off Paul Splittorff. Dan Ford and Rod Carew singled and Sergio Ferrer was safe on an error ahead of Brye's double in the seventh. The Royals had homers by John Mayberry, Hal McRae and Tony Solaita. [The Sporting News]
