6-4 Cubs Win over Royals Evens Season Record
Chicago played host to Kansas City at the friendly confines of Wrigley Field.

The Chicago Cubs topped the Kansas City Royals by the score of 6-4, with the biggest share of the credit going to second baseman Geronimo Pena. Pena was 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 runs for the Cubs on the day. Eric King got the win, improving to 1-2. He worked 5 innings, giving up 3 runs on 7 hits, while striking out 5 and walking 1. Doug Jones earned the save, his 3rd.

Mark Grace, who finished 3rd in the FL in doubles with 41 in 1989, chipped in for Chicago with a 2-run home run in the bottom of the third. For the game, the first baseman had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 2 runs batted in.

"We'll grab a cold one tonight and go after another win tomorrow," Grace said.

The defending champion Cubs have struggled a bit to find their groove this season, but improve to 11-11 with the win.
