Kansas City Slaps 6-3 Loss on Chicago
The Kansas City Royals used the hitting of first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino to subdue the Chicago Cubs, 6-3. For the game, Pasquantino was 3 for 4 with a home run and a double. He scored 3 runs. The save went to DL Hall, his 18th this season. The first-place Royals improved to 59-55.

Making an impact for the home team was Dominic Fletcher. In the bottom of the second, the 29-year old center fielder had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. That made the score 3-1, Royals.

Fletcher attributed the win to his team's "grittiness."
