Royals Prove Rude Guests, Win 4-1 at Chicago
The Kansas City Royals got a stellar performance from pitcher Kevin Tapani, who handcuffed the Chicago offense en route to a 4-1 win at Wrigley Field. The Royals, at 98-25, have a comfortable 30-game lead in their division.

It could have been a different outcome for Kansas City, had it not been for Tim Naehring, the 27-year old third baseman . Naehring contributed a run-scoring walk in the top of the eighth inning to put Kansas City up, 3-1.

Naehring called the triumph "a good team win."
