Royals Rally For 6-3 Win
The home crowd had a good time watching the Chicago Cubs and Kansas City Royals get after it.

Matt Belgard impressed in the 6-3 Kansas City win over Chicago. Belgard, the 7th overall pick in the 2044 draft, went 3-5 with 2 doubles, while adding 3 RBI. Asa Hahn collected his 2nd save.

Belgard had a game-changing double in the bottom of the eighth. On a 1-2 knuckleball from Eric Oakes, he banged a bases-clearing double to center, giving the Royals a 6-3 lead. It was the 2nd double of the year for Belgard.

"I just tried to make good contact," said Belgard.

Chicago falls to 1-2.
