Royals Earn Clutch Win, 6-5
Starting pitcher Matt Heidt pitched well enough to help the Kansas City Royals beat the Chicago White Sox, 6-5. The win went to Chris Tucker in relief. His record improves to 1-1. Kevin Eskridge took the loss. The Royals go to 65-69, putting them 4th in the American League Central Division.

The decisive blow was delivered by Bob Cozart in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a 2-run home run off 27-year old right-handed pitcher Kevin Eskridge to win the game for Kansas City. The home crowd went nuts.

"He who laughs last laughs best," Heidt said, postgame.
