With right fielder Rusty Greer leading the charge, the Baltimore Orioles defeated the Kansas City Royals, 6-5, at Kauffman Stadium. Greer was 1-3 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. The win was credited to 24-year old right-handed pitcher Bobby Jenks in relief. His record improves to 3-2. Vic Darensbourg took the loss. The Orioles, now 37-39, have won 4 in a row.

With Baltimore leading 1-0 in the top of the second, Greer hit a slider from Mike Hampton for a 3-run home run. It was his 3rd home run of the season and put the Orioles ahead, 4-0.

"We're trying to go out there and win games," Greer told the Baltimore Daily News, "and we played pretty well tonight."
