Merced goes 4-for-5, Royals Move to 82-47
The Kansas City Royals knocked off the Atlanta Braves, 17-2, at Royals Stadium. Orlando Merced, who captured player of the game honors, was a big reason Kansas City won. The right fielder went 4 for 5 with a home run, 3 singles, and a walk, while scoring 5 times and driving in 2. Kansas City is now 82-47, 5 games up in the Federal League Central Division.

A key at-bat came in the bottom of the first inning. With runners on 1st and 2nd, the batter, John Olerud, hit a run-scoring double. It made the score 1-0, Kansas City, and helped them go on to win.

Olerud called the game "anything but a nail-biter."
