Royals Suffer 5-1 Loss to Cincinnati
Cincinnati Reds pitcher Tully Sparks was in top form, leading his team past the Kansas City Royals, 5-1. The winning pitcher was Sparks, now 17-4. He tossed 7 innings of 5-hit ball, while walking 4 and fanning 4. The Reds lead the National League Central by 26½ games.

Paul Konerko drove in one run for Cincinnati. The 27-year old first baseman had a key at-bat in the bottom of the third. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 1-1 tie with a run-scoring ground out off Stephen Strasburg. It was his 95th RBI of the season.

"Tully is good at sticking to his strengths," said Cincinnati manager Mike Loveridge.
