Willie Aikens drove in four runs with a two-run homer and bases-loaded double to spark the Royals to an 8-4 triumph overthe Indians, Kansas City's seventh consecutive victory. Aikens' homer capped a four-run third inning that also featured a tie-breaking two-run single by Hal McRae. Aikens' double highlighted a three-run seventh. K.C. third baseman George Brett was carried off the field in the third inning after suffering ligament damage to his right ankle while stealing second base. [The Sporting News]
