Waters, Cubs Wallop Royals, 10-2
Chicago and Kansas City took Mother Nature's best shot and still managed to complete their ballgame.

The Chicago Cubs beat the Kansas City Royals by a score of 10-2. Chicago first baseman Ben Waters deserved the lion's share of the credit. Waters was 4 for 5 with a home run and 2 doubles, while scoring 3 and driving in 2 for the Cubs. Johnny Armour was the winning pitcher. Over 7 innings, he allowed 2 runs on 6 hits, with 3 walks and 4 strikeouts.

In the top of the first, with the game still scoreless, Waters hit a run-scoring single to put his team in the lead.

"We'll take some time to unwind," said Waters, "and then get after it again."

The Royals, now 2-12, continue their inauspicious start.
