Royals Pocket 8-5 Win Against Chicago
The Kansas City Royals beat the Chicago Cubs, 8-5, at Wrigley Field. The Royals got a fine performance from center fielder Jeff Rodgers, who went 1 for 4 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Edgar Falquez notched his 4th save in 6 chances. Kansas City has now won 5 straight.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Noelvi Marte? The Kansas City shortstop had a bases-clearing double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Royals on top, 7-3. For the game, Marte had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We maximized our offense today," said Kansas City skipper Victor Rey. "That makes everyone's life easier."
