Baltimore Hands Kansas City 5-2 Defeat
Baltimore left-hander Curt David pitched his team to victory over the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium. The final score was 5-2. David yielded 1 run over 6.2 innings to notch the win. He scattered 6 hits, walked 2, and struck out 12. His record improves to 15-3. The 97-55 Orioles lead the American League East Division by one game.

Baltimore needed the clutch hitting of Mike Echols to seal the deal. The right fielder swatted a 3-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Orioles on top, 4-1. For the game, Echols had 1 home run and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

"You win some, you lose some. I don't get too caught up in all that," said Echols.
