Fussell allowed just two hits in six innings and struck out four. Jerry Spradlin and Jay Witasick combined for three scoreless innings of relief. The Royals got two hits each from Jorge Fabergas, Mike Sweeney and Johnny Damon. Kansas City has won five straight and opens a big four-game series tonight in Cleveland.
