Royals Suffer One-Run Loss at Chicago
In a low-scoring game between the Chicago Cubs and the Kansas City Royals, pitcher Mike Simoneaux was masterful on the mound. The Chicago right-hander spearheaded his team's 2-1 win.

Evan Perry, who is tied for 8th in the NL in runs scored with 81, aided the Chicago cause with a run-scoring single in the bottom of the third. For the game, the first baseman went 3-4 with a double and 2 singles.

"Mike made the big pitches when he needed to," said Chicago manager Troy Heron.
