The Kansas City Royals had to overcome a fine effort from Chicago pitcher Dylan Cease to grab a narrow 7-5 win at Kauffman Stadium. Cease went 6.2 innings and allowed 2 runs. Dylan Lee picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 2-1. Gregory Santos was tagged with the loss. Nick Burdi, summoned from the bullpen, notched his 15th save.

Kansas City took a 3-2 lead on Drew Waters's 13th double of the season. The 2-run double, which Waters hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Chicago pitcher Gregory Santos shaking his head.

"It wasn't our best performance," said Waters, "but a win in this league is nothing to sniff at."

Kansas City, now 47-52, holds down third place in the American League Central Division.
