The Kansas City Royals topped the Chicago White Sox, 7-5, at U.S. Cellular Field. Kansas City first baseman Alex Baeza was a spark plug for the offense. He was 2-5 with a home run and a triple. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Dave Alva got credit for the win, improving to 1-0. He allowed no runs on 1 hit in 3.2 innings. Getting the save was Ryan Washington, his 27th.

Jon Munoz came through with a big-time hit for Kansas City. The left fielder smacked a 2-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to give his team the lead, 7-5. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"We're all about heart and hustle on this team. That's what wins ballgames," Baeza told the Kansas City Observer.

The 4th-place Royals bumped their record to 50-59.
