Cubs Rack Up 3-2 Win Versus Kansas City
Chicago pitcher Nick Travieso had a large part in his team subduing the Kansas City Royals, 3-2. The opposition could never mount much of a rally against the right-hander. Orlando Romero closed it out for his 31st save. At 55-62, the Cubs are currently 4th in the National League Central Division.

Ben Collins had a direct impact on the outcome. Collins contributed a solo home run in the top of the sixth inning to put Chicago up, 3-1.

Chicago manager Warren Schaeffer called it "a good, solid win."
