Kansas City Defeats Chicago, 8-7
The Kansas City Royals did just enough to sneak past the Chicago White Sox, 8-7, at U.S. Cellular Field. Kansas City right fielder Chris Pope, in particular, had a standout performance. Nate Brown earned the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The left-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 3 innings. His record is now 1-0. Kansas City is now 75-82, Chicago 107-49.

Kansas City designated hitter Manuel Gutierrez contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the fifth. With two down, he hit a sinker to center field for a 2-run single. It was his 19th hit of the season and put the Royals ahead, 7-5.

Gutierrez told a Kansas City Herald reporter that he was "satisfied" with the win.
