Royals make 4-run 2nd stand up to edge Cubs 4-3
The Royals bunched 3 of their 6 hits into the 2nd inning, along with a walk and two hit batters, to score 4 runs and were threatening for more with the bases loaded and one out, but Andy Rager entered in relief and induced an inning-ending double play to keep the game from getting out of hand. The score remained 4-1 until the bottom of the sixth when the Cubs took advantage of a trio of walks to load the bases with 2 outs and Adam Shaull hit a 2-run single to make it a 1-run game entering the 7th. Alex Nova pitched a spotless 7th to pick up the save. Neal Landis of the Royals and Adam Shaull of the Cubs were the only players with 2 hits in this low-scoring affair.
