The Kansas City Royals knocked off the Chicago White Sox, 7-4, at U.S. Cellular Field. Bobby Noriega was a big reason Kansas City won. The left fielder was 2 for 4 with 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice. At 64-59, the Royals find themselves in third place in the American League Central Division.

Ryan Miller broke a 1-1 tie in the top of the fifth with a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It put the Royals in front, 2-1. For the game, Miller drew 1 walk.

"Winning is the only thing that really matters," Noriega told the Kansas City Times. "If you can win without even breaking a sweat, more power to you."
