Mata Leads Royals to Win
The exploits of second baseman Al Mata, who is on pace for 113 RBI this season, helped the Kansas City Royals defeat the Chicago (A) White Sox, 6-2. Mata was 3 for 4 with 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice. Ed Montgomery was the winner. He's now 2-5. The loser was Kit Fedewa. Picking up his 17th save was 25-year old right-handed pitcher Joe Harper.

Mata contributed a big hit, a 3-run home run, for Kansas City in the bottom of the third. With his team trailing 2-1, Mata took a fastball from Kit Fedewa and stroked the home run to left. His 20th home run of the season allowed the Royals to leap in front, 4-2.

"I'm just trying to make good contact," said Mata, "one at-bat at a time."

Kansas City goes to 32-24. The win puts them 2 games up in their division.
