Royals cling to lead in odd pennant race
Kansas City Royals struggle to believe this season lacks a true pennant chase yet sit a half game ahead of Oakland in the division. Willie Wilson and Amos Otis fueled a 9-2 win over Minnesota as Dick Howser’s club breaks out of a recent slump with four runs in the second inning and a later two-run homer. Cleveland and Baltimore won as AL rivals prosper elsewhere.
