Cubs Slip Past Kansas City, 5-4
Starting pitcher Tim Wakefield pitched well enough to help the Chicago Cubs beat the Kansas City Royals by the score of 5-4. The Cubs, now 14-6, have been red hot.

Chicago used the timely hitting of Phil Rizzuto to seize the win. The shortstop stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Cubs on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"I like the grit of this ballclub," Wakefield said.
