Royals' bats explode to end streak
The Associated Press
Stairs' slam came on the first pitch after Indians manager Eric Wedge had reliever Jeriome Robertson intentionally walk Juan Gonzalez.
CLEVELAND — Matt Stairs hit a grand slam and matched a career-high with six RBIs as Kansas City ended a six-game road losing streak with a 15-5 victory against of the Cleveland Indians yesterday.
Kansas City came in 0-6 on its first road trip of 2004. But the Royals roughed up Durbin and Robertson, who was recalled from the minors before the game when Jason Stanford went on the disabled list with a
Stairs connected for his eighth career slam in the sixth inning, giving the Royals an 11-4 lead. He hit an RBI double off Chad Durbin (1-2) during a five-run first and added a run-scoring grounder in the second.
Cleveland's beleaguered and battered bullpen—1-6 with a 6.28 ERA—hit a low point when Wedge brought in backup

In his fourth start, Brian Anderson (1-0) got something other than a no-decision. Anderson allowed two earned runs and seven hits in six innings and became the first Royals starter to get a win this season.
brought in backup catcher Tim Laker to pitch the ninth.
The Royals scored five times in the first, batting against Durbin, their former teammate.
Carlos Beltran singled and Mike Sweeney hit a fly to right that should have been caught for
the second out. Instead, right fielder Alex Escobar seemed to shy away as he neared the wall and the ball dropped for an RBI single.
Laker made his second career relief appearance. He also pitched an inning on Sept. 2, 2001, against the Chicago White Sox.
After another base hit, Stairs hit a double to make it 2-0. Harvey's RBI single and No. 9 hitter Andre Blanco's two-run single—his first careerRBIs—put the Royals up 5-0.
Lou Merloni made Cleveland's opening-day roster partly because of his versatility, and he recorded his first career assist as an outfielder in the fourth by throwing out Tony Graffanino from left trying to stretch a single. Later, Merloni robbed Blanco of extra bases with a lunging catch down the line.
The team said Escobar strained his gluteal muscle.
The Indians got two runs back in their half on Escobar's two-run double, but he grabbed his left leg pulling into second base and was replaced in the fourth.
Cleveland closed to 7-4 with two unearned runs in the fourth, set up when Gonzalez dropped a fly in right.
But two innings later, Stairs' home run over center field bleit it open, and the Royals scored four more runs in the seventh.
Matt Lawton hit a home run in the eighth for Cleveland.
- Indians short stop Omar Vizquel remains one hit shy of 2,000. He went 0-for-4.
A Royals spokesman said a fan in Independence,Mo.,won $25,000 in a radio promotion when Stairs hit his grand slam.

Blues forward to remain in custody
ST. LOUISE — St. Louis Blues forward Mike Danton has been ordered to remain jailed in California until federal marshals return him to Illinois on charges that he plotted to arrange an acquaintance's killing, a federal prosecutor said yesterday.
Ronald Tenpas, the U.S. attorney for Illinois' southern district, said that the athlete was formally told during an initial court appearance Friday in San Jose, Calif., why he had been arrested hours earlier at an airport in that city.
Danton will remain in the custody of federal marshals until they return him to Illinois when their extradition schedule permits, Tenpas said. That return could be within days, though more likely a week to two weeks, Tenpas said.
Danton, 23, was arrested a day
after the San Jose Sharks eliminated the Blues from the NHL playoffs on charges that he and college nursing student Katie Wolfmey conspired and used a telephone across state lines to set up a killing.
A criminal complaint alleged that Danton tried to hire a hit man for $10,000 to murder an unidentified acquaintance at the suburban St. Louis apartment the men shared. The complaint alleged that on April 13 the men argued over Danton's "promiscuity and use of alcohol," and that Danton feared the acquaintance would talk to Blues management and ruin Danton's career.
Wolfmeyer, 19, apparently was unaware the supposed contract killer she allegedly was helping hire was secretly working with the FBL.
Wolfmeyer, arrested last Thursday night, made her initial
appearance Monday in federal court in East St. Louis, Ill. Her attorney, Donald Groshong, told a federal magistrate that his client was a "young girl smitten with a hocKEY player who lied to her."
Wolfmeyer was freed on $100,000 bond and scheduled for a preliminary hearing on April 30.
Stephen Clark, an Illinois federal prosecutor, said in court that Wolfmeyer confessed to the crime. Groschong said that was not the case and called Wolfmeyer "a nice young girl who is the real victim in this case. She was led to by everybody." He would not elaborate.
Authorities have not publicly identified the target of the supposed murder-for-hire plot, though media outlets this week, quoting unnamed law enforcement sources, said that intended victim was Danton's agent, Dave Frost.
But Frost told the Associated
Press that he wasn't the target yesterday.
"it'll all be cleared up as soon as Mike is able to talk," Frost said, declining to elaborate about the case. A day earlier, Frost said Danton was in "desperate, desperate need of counseling."
"Mike is scared. He's still in a state where he doesn't actually understand what's happened," the agent said. "We're doing what we can to keep his mind-set as strong as we possibly can."
In several interviews, Danton's estranged father, Stephen Jefferson of Brampton, Ontario, has blamed Frost for his son's emotional problems.
Danton came to the Blues in a June trade from the New Jersey Devils, where he had been twice suspended for disciplinary reasons
A message left yesterday with Danton's St. Louis attorney was not returned.
