Brett Keeps Hit Streak Alive as Royals Top Rangers
George Brett powered Kansas City with a homer and a single driving in two runs to lift the Royals 6-2 over Texas. Brett, batting .406 in eight games, boosted KC into a share of first in the AL West as he echoes a 1980 form after offseason conditioning that trimmed 20 pounds. He homered off knuckleballer Charlie Hough for an early lead, with Danny Jackson scattering seven innings before Quisenberry closed it out for the save.
