Behind a solid performance from second baseman Roberto Alomar, the Kansas City Royals defeated the Chicago Cubs, 11-5. Alomar was 4 for 4 with a double and 3 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for the Royals. Denny Neagle, who went 7.1 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 3 runs on 8 hits, while walking 2 and striking out 7. His record now stands at 11-1. Kansas City leads the Federal League Central Division by 16½ games.

Tim Naehring, the 16th overall pick in the 1989 draft, aided the Kansas City cause with a run-scoring single in the bottom of the second. For the game, the third baseman was 2 for 4 with 2 singles.

"Getting a lot of baserunners and getting some timely hits, it's a good combination," said Naehring.
