Baltimore Orioles vs. Kansas City Royals: Game Highlights

The two homers by Mayo at Kauffman Stadium were his first of the season, and he more than doubled his RBI total to 10. Both were well over the wall in left field, with the latest a 452-foot shot into the bleachers above the fountains.

Pete Alonso also homered for Baltimore, the third this season for the veteran slugger.

Chris Bassitt (1-2) allowed five runs on eight hits in 5 1/3 innings for his first win as an Oriole. Anthony Nunez worked a scoreless ninth for his first save.

Carter Jensen hit his team-leading sixth homer for the Royals. Vinnie Pasquantino and Kyle Isbel also connected.

Kansas City's Michael Wacha (2-1), who entered with a 1.00 ERA in four starts, allowed six runs on seven hits in 5 1/3 innings.

Alonso took Wacha deep in the first for a two-out, two-run shot. In the bottom half, Pasquantino hit a no-doubt 422-foot drive over the Royals' bullpen in right field.

Pasquantino led off the fourth with a double and scored on a single by Jensen. Lane Thomas singled to drive in Jensen and put Kansas City ahead 3-2.

Baltimore had six straight batters reach in the sixth. Leody Taveras hit an RBI single, Jeremiah Jackson followed with a two-run single and, after a hit by Colton Cowser, Mayo went deep to make it 8-3.

Up next Baltimore hosts Boston on Friday. Neither team has announced a starter. Kansas City welcomes the Los Angeles Angels and LHP Yusei Kikuchi (0-2, 5.63 ERA) on Friday, with LHP Noah Cameron (1-1, 5.40) going for the Royals.
