Cubs Victors, 5-1, at Kansas City
Chicago (N) pitcher Chris Norris had a large part in his team subduing the Kansas City Royals, 5-1. The opposition could never mount much of a rally against the right-hander. Morimichi Ishimaru notched his 15th save in 18 chances. The second-place Cubs now have a win-loss record of 47-55.

Chicago (N) used a well-timed hit by Dan Rahn to capture the win. The shortstop socked a 2-run double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Cubs ahead, 4-1. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

Rahn told the Chicago (N) News: "Win or lose, I don't want to see our team outhustled."
