Cubs Edge Royals, 5-4
The Chicago Cubs relied on the hitting of designated hitter Pat Barton to stop the Kansas City Royals, 5-4. For the game, Barton went 3 for 3 with 3 singles and a walk. He scored 2 times. Chris Ray earned the win to go to 4-1. He allowed 1 run on 4 hits, with 4 walks and 6 strikeouts in 6 innings of work. Eric Oakes finished the game for Chicago and earned his 8th save.

Chicago took a 5-2 lead on Yasuhide Kasahara's 17th double of the season. The run-scoring double, which Kasahara hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Kansas City pitcher John Brooks shaking his head.

"Enjoyed this one," Barton told the Chicago News. "But it's back to work tomorrow."

The win elevated the Cubs to 20-14.
