Royals Continue Hot Start to Season With Win
The Kansas City Royals racked up a win at Royals Stadium, bumping off the Chicago Cubs, 6-4. Bobby J. Jones, who started for Kansas City, pitched effectively for his team. Jones went 8 innings to notch the win. He scattered 8 hits, walked 2, and struck out 5. His record improves to 3-0. Armando Benitez nailed down his 7th save.

Andruw Jones, the 7th overall pick in the 1995 draft, chipped in for Kansas City with a 2-run home run in the bottom of the second. For the game, the center fielder had 2 hits in 3 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 2 runs batted in.

"As well as we've been playing, I think we can play even better," said Kansas City manager Daniel Drucker.

Kansas City, now 11-3, has played well in the early going.
