    Jeff Francoeur has gained the reputation of doling out the hardest blows during the Royals' five celebrations after game-ending hits this season.

    Francoeur was on the receiving end Tuesday night as his sacrifice fly in the 10th inning -- he hit a tying homer in the sixth -- lifted Kansas City to a 6-5 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night.

    "I'll take that any day of the week for a walkoff," Francoeur said. "I beat up on people pretty good after walkoffs. I got beat up pretty good tonight. I went to the fetal position."

    After an 0-6 trip to Cleveland and Texas, the Royals have won four straight at Kauffman Stadium, where they are 13-5.
