BALTIMORE (AP) — Alex Gordon hit two of Kansas City’s four home runs, Luis Mendoza took a shutout into the seventh inning and the Royals beat the Baltimore Orioles 7-3 Saturday night after the start of the game was delayed by rain for more than three hours.

Salvador Perez and Billy Butler also connected for the Royals, who have 14 homers in their last seven games. Gordon has nine home runs this season, three in this four-game series that concludes Sunday afternoon.

The game started at 10:14 p.m. and spilled into Sunday morning, finally ending at 1:13 a.m.

Mendoza (6-8) gave up three runs and seven hits over six-plus innings in his first appearance against the Orioles since 2008. Two of his 12 career wins have come against Baltimore.

Chris Tillman (5-2) allowed six runs and six hits, including three homers, in 5 2-3 innings.
