Royals Pick Up 2-1 Road Win Over Chicago
The Royals faced a stiff challenge from Chicago pitcher Mike Groves, but persevered to claim a win at U.S. Cellular Field. The final score was 2-1. Groves went 6 innings and allowed 2 runs. Kansas City reliever Jim Garvelink picked up the win, upping his record to 5-3. Mike Groves took the loss. Their 46-62 record puts the Royals last in the American League Central Division.

Kansas City used the timely hitting of Tony Monterosa to seize the win. The center fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Royals on top, 2-0. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Winning is all that really matters and we got it done today," Monterosa told the Kansas City Daily News.
