Royals Get Hard-Earned Win, Stop Cubs, 4-3
Kansas City beat Chicago at Kauffman Stadium, escaping with a 4-3 win. The win in large part was due to third baseman Mikolas Markus. He went 3-3 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. The winner was Kansas City reliever Asa Hahn, now 2-0. The loser was George Poirier. Kansas City is now 20-21, Chicago 24-16.

Bob Najar was the walk-off hero for Kansas City. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Royals center fielder hit a dramatic run-scoring double to send the teams home.

"We had the game right there for the taking," said Chicago manager Mergatroid Skittle. "But we decided not to take it."
