KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Karim Garcia opened his second stint with Baltimore with two home runs and five RBIs, and the Orioles tied a club record with 11 extra-base hits in a 12-3 win over the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday.
Garcia, acquired Monday from the New York Mets for reliever Mike DeJean, was 0-for-16 in eight games for the Orioles in 2000.
His first hit was a two-run shot to right in the third inning for an 8-1 lead. He made it 11-3 with a three-run drive into the right-field bullpen in the sixth off reliever Dennys Reyes.
The Orioles hit five home runs, a season high, and six doubles. Miguel Tejada, Larry Bigbie and Robert Machado also homered, and Bigbie and Machado also had one double each.
The Royals stranded a season-high 15 runners.
Baltimore hit four homers and four doubles came against Royals starter Zack Greinke (2-7). The rookie was tagged for eight runs on nine hits before being lifted with nobody out in the third, and saw his ERA jump from 3.57 to 4.57.
Daniel Cabrera (8-3) pitched five innings for the win, giving up three runs and eight hits. He improved to 3-0 against the Royals this season.
Tejada's homer made it 2-0 in the first inning. Bigbie added a two-run shot in the second for a 4-1 lead, and Machado followed with a homer that made it 5-1.
Luis Lopez, who replaced injured second baseman Brian Roberts in the fourth inning, made it 12-3 with an RBI single in the seventh.
Kansas City scored in the first on Mike Sweeney's RBI single and in the fourth on David DeJesus' two-run double. Ken Harvey had three hits for the Royals.
Baltimore right fielder Jerry Hairston bruised his upper right side when he ran into the wall after catching Sweeney's long fly ball in the third inning, and left the game.
Roberts was hit on his throwing hand by Angel Berroa's bad-hop grounder in the fourth. Roberts was charged with an error after throwing wide to first on the play, but the ruling was later changed and Berroa was credited with a single.
X-rays showed no broken bones in Roberts' right hand. Both Roberts and Hairston are listed as day-to-day.
Royals manager Tony Pena was ejected by plate umpire Mark Carlson in the sixth inning for arguing a called strike on Matt Stairs.
Notes: Baltimore won both games in the series, handing the Royals their ninth sweep of the season. ... Kansas City dropped to 10-29 in day games this season. ... Baltimore has had 10 or more hits in 14 of its last 25 games. ... The temperature at the start of the game was 92 degrees, a season high at Kauffman Stadium.
