Victor Pena notched his 20th save in 20 chances.

Junior Marino, who is tied for 6th in the AL in bases on balls with 38, chipped in a run-scoring hit-by-pitch for Kansas City in the top of the fifth. For the game, the left fielder had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 2 runs batted in.

"We'll pop the top on a cold beverage and get back to work tomorrow," Marino said.

With the win over Chicago, the Royals improved to 34-40.
