A nice crowd turned out for a clash between the Kansas City Royals and Chicago White Sox.

Kansas City Royals starter Bill Fike pitched a strong game against the Chicago White Sox at Kauffman Stadium, leading the Royals to victory, 8-5. The save was credited to Ryan Washington, his 28th.

Bobby Noriega swatted a 3-run home run for Kansas City in the bottom of the third. The left fielder went 2 for 4 for the game, including 1 home run and 1 double. He scored 1 run and batted in 4.

"I've been criticized for being a slacker, but the one thing I do care about is winning," Noriega told the Kansas City Herald.

At 59-65, the Royals find themselves in 4th place in the American League Central Division.
