Royals Get One-Run Win at Chicago
Baseball fans saw a good contest between the Kansas City Royals and Chicago Cubs.

Kansas City right fielder Roman Downey made his presence felt in the 5-4 Royals triumph over the Chicago Cubs. Downey was 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Joe Noonan earned the save, his 18th.

With Kansas City leading 2-1 in the top of the fifth, Downey hit a cutter from Nicolai Volnov for a 3-run home run. It was his 17th home run of the season and put the Royals ahead, 5-1.

"I'll probably toss and turn tonight," Chicago manager Mergatroid Skittle said following the tough loss.

Kansas City bumps their record to 45-35 with the win.
