Royals Fall Short at Chicago
In a tight contest at Wrigley Field, the Chicago Cubs edged the Kansas City Royals by the score of 13-12. Chicago right fielder Jon Nunnally, who blasted 1 home run, was named the player of the game. Even with the win, the Cubs have a dismal 20-38 record.

When he came to bat in the bottom of the tenth, Willie Greene had a chance to end it. Kansas City pitcher Gregg Olson had other ideas. But with one out, Greene hit a sacrifice fly. The Cubs had the win.

"Our team showed some spunk," said Greene.
