Stevens' homer helps down Royals, 2-0
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Lee Stevens hit a home run for the second
straight night and John Burkett shut down Kansas City on Wednesday,
carrying the Texas Rangers to a 2-0 victory over the Royals.
Burkett (1-1) allowed nine singles over 7 2-3 innings before
Dan Patterson came on with two on and two outs and got Jay Bell
to hit into a fielder's choice groundout. John Wetteland pitched
the ninth for his fourth save as the Royals were shut out at home
for the first time since Sept. 27, 1995.
Jim Pittsley, making his first start in nearly two-years, was
the hard-luck loser, allowing just three hits in seven innings,
with two walks and two strikeouts. The 6-foot-7 right-hander was
called up from Omaha to replace the injured Chris Haney.
Stevens hit a 418-foot homer over the water display in right
field leading off the second inning. All four of his home runs
this year have traveled more than 400 feet. Send a Letter to
