The Royals bumped their record to 35-17 with this latest triumph.

Hidalgo put Kansas City up, 5-0, when he hit a 2-run home run off Rene Arocha in the top of the third. His 16th home run of the season helped the Royals capture the win.

"One win at a time, one game at a time. We try not to get too far ahead of ourselves," Hidalgo told the Kansas City Today.
