The Kansas City Royals got a strong performance from pitcher Lloyd Hittle, who stymied the Chicago offense en route to a 7-1 win at Wrigley Field. Kansas City is now 33-52.

Kansas City relied on the hitting of Dave Nelson to pick up the win. The third baseman ripped a 2-run triple in the top of the second inning to put the Royals on top, 3-0. For the game, Nelson had 1 triple and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We put it together today and came out with the win," Hittle said in postgame remarks. "That's the main thing."
