White Sox Come Up Short at Kansas City, 3-2
The Kansas City Royals reigned over the Chicago White Sox in damp conditions.

The Kansas City Royals had to overcome a fine effort from Chicago pitcher James Moyer, Jr. to grab a narrow 3-2 win at Kauffman Stadium. Moyer, Jr. went 6 innings and allowed 2 runs. Earning his 7th save of the year was Scotty Hale.

Had Jared Ashley not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Ashley hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 3-2, in favor of the Royals.

"We'll sip on a cold one and savor this win," said Ashley.

The win puts Kansas City at 15-15.
