Bobby Witt Jr. and Salvador Perez hit two of Kansas City's four home runs to back a strong start by rookie Noah Cameron, and the Royals beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 9-3 on Monday night. Cameron (3-4) struck out seven in a season-high seven innings.

Bobby Witt. Jr. clubbed a two-run homer and had three RBIs, as Kansas City went deep four times, while rookie Noah Cameron allowed two runs over seven strong innings of the Royals' 9-3 home win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday night.

In their first game in Kauffman Stadium this month, the Kansas City Royals matched their home win total from all of last month. Hopefully, it will be a sign of good things to come, as the Royals’ 9-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates was the sort of top-to-bottom victory that makes for a very enjoyable viewing experience.
