Brown Records Shutout Against Cubs
Kevin Brown had the Chicago Cubs dancing to his tune today with a sparkling 2-0 shutout performance for the Kansas City Royals. He gave up 2 hits, issued no walks and had 6 strikeouts.

Chicago hitters were bewildered throughout the game by his delivery.

"When you face a guy who hides the ball like he does, it takes a couple of at-bats to try to find his release point," opposing manager Anthony Perez said. "We just never figured him out."

This season Brown has a 22-7 record with a 2.58 ERA in 33 starts.
