Cubs Topple Royals with Late Rally
The Chicago Cubs defeated the Kansas City Royals, 6-4, at Royals Stadium today. Leading the charge for Chicago was designated hitter Jay Buhner. He went 2-4 with a home run and a double. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. The winner was Chicago reliever David Weathers, now 4-1. The loser was Mark Guthrie. Kansas City has now lost 4 in a row.

Chicago used the timely hitting of Dion James to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Cubs on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

Buhner said afterward that the win gets the team one step closer to its goal.
