Brian Bannister allowed two singles in eight innings as the Kansas City Royals beat Baltimore 4-0 Sunday to end their 12-game skid against the Orioles.
It was Kansas City's first victory over Baltimore since July 2006.
Brian Burres allowed four runs and nine hits in six-plus innings for the Orioles.
Bannister struck out five and walked two to end a personal four-game losing streak. He did not allow a runner to reach second.
Joakim Soria tossed a perfect ninth to finish Kansas City's fourth shutout of the year.
Bannister held the Orioles to one hit -- a Guillermo Quiroz line drive single to right in the third -- in the first six innings and quickly erased him when Luis Hernandez grounded into a double play.
The only other hit Bannister allowed was a two-out Luke Scott single in the seventh.
