Cubs Lose, 8-1, at Royals Stadium
Kansas City starter Bobby J. Jones put a stranglehold on the Chicago offense. The right-hander had complete command of his sinker in leading the Royals to a 8-1 win. The misery continues for the Cubs, which has now dropped 10 in a row.

In the top of the fifth, with the game tied and two out, Chicago had runners on 1st and 2nd. Jon Nunnally had a chance to do some damage. But he popped out.
