Wilkins Helps Kansas City Cruise to 10-2 Win
Kansas City catcher Rick Wilkins was instrumental in his team's 10-2 win over the Boston Red Sox. Wilkins, who is a three-time All-Star, went 2-3 with 2 runs scored to lead the offensive attack for the Royals. The Royals, now 24-7, have been on fire in the early going.

Wilkins put Kansas City up, 8-0, when he hit a 3-run home run off Mark Thompson in the top of the fifth. His 7th home run of the season helped the Royals capture the win.

"We maximized our offense today," said Kansas City skipper Daniel Drucker. "That makes everyone's life easier."
