KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Cesar Izturis and Nick Markakis each drove in three runs and the Baltimore Orioles won again in their favorite road ballpark, beating the Kansas City Royals 9-5 Thursday night.
Baltimore has won 15 of 18 against Kansas City and is 43-15 against the Royals since 2001, including 24-7 at Kauffman Stadium. The Orioles did it this time with a big night offensively — 12 hits — and a just-good-enough start from Jeremy Guthrie (3-3). Aubrey Huff homered and Melvin Mora had two RBIs for the Orioles, who won for just the second time in 11 road games overall.
The Royals had hoped a return to the New K would re-engergize them after a miserable California road trip that included five straight losses to the Angels and Athletics.
