San Francisco ? Tony Graffanino tripled, drove in a run and scored twice, and Matt Diaz added two RBIs in the Kansas City Royals’ 4-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday night.

Runelvys Hernandez (3-7) pitched six strong innings despite a light drizzle for most of the game, and the Royals won consecutive road games for the first time since April 30-May 1 at Cleveland.

Kansas City hit an SBC Park-record three triples to help snap a nine-game road losing streak with Tuesday’s 8-1 victory. The Royals added two more triples Wednesday. Ruben Gotay had the other, while Angel Berroa and David DeJesus each had two hits.

The Royals improved to 6-2 under new manager Buddy Bell, but they won this one without him.

Bell was ejected in the first inning by first-base umpire Rick Reed, the crew chief, after arguing a checked swing by San Francisco’s Moises Alou.

After being thrown out, Bell came out to first base and hollered at Reed for several minutes before exiting.

It was Bell’s first ejection since taking over the team May 31, three weeks after Tony Pena resigned.

The Giants got two hits off Jeremy Affeldt in the eighth, but Alou grounded into an inning-ending double play. Mike MacDougal pitched the ninth for his sixth save in eight chances.

Ray Durham homered in the fourth for the Giants.
