Brown Dominant in Kansas City Win
The Kansas City Royals got a stellar performance from pitcher Kevin Brown, who handcuffed the Orlando offense en route to a 1-0 win at Royals Stadium. Armando Benitez earned the save for Kansas City, his 4th of the year. The Royals, now 4-2, have played some good baseball in the early going.

Brown was in the zone all game. He frustrated Orlando hitters while giving the Royals 8.1 innings of quality work. Brown threw 111 pitches, allowing 4 hits and getting 12 punchouts.

"I just made my pitches," said Brown, "and the ball kept missing the bat."
