KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 14 (UPI) -- Miguel Olivo homered and drove in four runs Sunday when the Kansas City Royals recorded a 7-1 inter-league win over Cincinnati, completing a three-game sweep.
After two earlier RBI, Olivo capped the rout with a two-run eighth-inning blast, his ninth homer this season.
Alberto Callaspo had two hits and two RBI, while Mark Teahen had three hits and one RBI for the Royals, who have won four of five.
