					| Chicago Downed, 5-3, by Royals |  
					| The Chicago White Sox got a superb performance from pitcher Mike Kelly, but the Kansas City Royals still won the game, 5-3. Kelly threw 7.0 innings of 6-hit ball. Mike Long, the winning pitcher, is now 6-6. He went 7 innings, allowing 3 runs on 9 hits, while fanning 2 and walking 1. Ken Giles picked up the save, his 28th. 
 Jacksonville, Florida-born Dave García came through in the clutch. In the top of the eighth, with runners on 2nd and 3rd and the Royals trailing 3-2, he hit a 2-run  single to center to put Kansas City on top.
 
 "It feels good, just a great win all around," García said after the game.
 
 The win gives Kansas City a season record of 69-63.
