Royals Win at Chicago, 4-3
Despite a fine performance by shortstop Nomar Garciaparra, the Chicago White Sox suffered a 4-3 loss to the Kansas City Royals. Garciaparra hit 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. Bobby J. Jones went 8.1 innings for Kansas City to pick up the win. The right-hander was charged with 3 earned runs. He scattered 4 hits, while walking 1 and striking out 3. His record improves to 8-11. Armando Benitez notched his 30th save in 33 chances.

It could have been a different outcome for Kansas City, had it not been for Ray Lankford, the top prospect . Lankford contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put Kansas City up, 3-1.

"I just try to see the ball and put a good swing on it," said Lankford.

The first-place Royals have won 4 straight.
