Evans Excels, But Royals Win
The Kansas City Royals had to overcome a big game from South Side right fielder Dwight Evans to leave Comisky Park with a 8-5 victory. Evans was 2 for 4 with 2 home runs. He drove in 5 runs and scored twice. Lloyd Hittle got the win, improving to 2-4. He worked 5.1 innings, giving up 2 runs on 4 hits, while striking out 0 and walking 2. Huston Street converted his 5th save in 9 tries.

The result might have been different for Kansas City, had it not been for J R Murphy. The catcher produced a 2-run single in the top of the second inning to put the Royals ahead, 3-2. For the game, Murphy had 1 double and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

"I'm proud of the boys for pulling through," said Royals manager Mike Roltgen. "The wins don't come easy for this team, but everyone's got an extra jump in their step after a game like this."

The Royals now have a record of 31-48 with the win over South Side.
