Hot Start Continues for Royals
The Kansas City Royals eked out a 4-3 win versus the Chicago Cubs at Royals Stadium. Nobody did more than pitcher Rick Reed, who captured player of the game honors. In 8 innings, Reed surrendered 7 hits, while striking out 9 and walking 0. He allowed 3 runs. Kansas City goes to 9-3 with the win.

Richard Hidalgo drove in one run for Kansas City. The 1997 Rookie of the Year winner had a key at-bat in the bottom of the third. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 0-0 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Mike Hampton. It was his 4th RBI of the season.

"I like what I saw today," said Kansas City manager Daniel Drucker, "and I can't wait to get back out there and do it again."
