Baltimore starter Garrett Olson (2-0) picked up the win, allowing three runs on eight hits over 5 1/3 innings. George Sherrill earned his 13th save despite giving up a run in the ninth.
David DeJesus tripled and scored twice for the Royals, who have lost five of their last six. Esteban German had a pair of RBI, and Billy Butler scored once and had one RBI.
