Royals Stymie Chicago, Take 6-1 Win
Benefiting from an exceptional performance from Jim Thome, the Kansas City Royals defeated the Chicago Cubs, 6-1. Thome went 2 for 3 with 2 home runs and was hit by a pitch for the Royals. The Royals, now 2-1, have been on a roll in the early going.

The tide might have turned with two out in the top of the fifth, had not Rick Reed made a big pitch. With runners on 2nd and 3rd and the Cubs trailing 3-0, he retired Mark Grace, who grounded out.
