Notes:  The Royals win their sixth straight game, a feat they had not repeated since they opened the 2003 season at 9-0.  Gil Meche pitches a good game, the Royals defense holds the Cards to two runs, and Kansas City’s bats stay active as Alex Gordon hits one over the wall.

 

Running time:  3:05 (2 discs)
