Blasting off for four runs in the first inning, the Royals went on to a 6-1 decision over the Orioles. Willie Wilson led off with a triple and George Brett extended his hitting streak to 26 games with a run-scoring single. After Brett stole second and Darrell Porter walked, Willie Aikens unloaded a three-run homer. [The Sporting News]
