The Chicago Cubs picked up a win at Kauffman Stadium, knocking off the Kansas City Royals, 7-3. Starting pitcher Kendry Rojas was a big reason why.

Chicago used the hitting of Brennen Davis to pick up the win. The left fielder clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Cubs on top, 5-1. For the game, Davis had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Winning the game is always the first objective," Davis said.
