Backing up the shutout pitching of Mike Caldwell, who allowed only four hits, Sixto Lezcano smashed two homers and OBen glivie added one as the Brewers defeated the Royals, 9-0. The shutout was the first for the Royals since being blanked by Nolan Ryan of the Angels, 7-0, last June 29.

Lezcano hit his first homer of the game with Larry Hisle on base in the second inning. In the fifth, after Sal Bando doubled and scored on a single by Hisle, Oglivie and Lezcano homered in succession. [The Sporting News]
