Royals Sneak Past Cubs, 4-3
The Chicago Cubs could not turn a fine performance from pitcher Brandon Woodruff into a win. Instead, the Kansas City Royals prevailed, 4-3. Woodruff threw 7.0 innings of 2-hit ball. Miles Mikolas was the winner. Over 7.1 innings, he yielded 3 runs on 7 hits, with 1 walk and 3 strikeouts. Today's win puts Kansas City at 49-54, while Chicago falls to 60-43.

Paul Goldschmidt came through with a big-time hit for Kansas City. The first baseman smacked a 2-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to give his team the lead, 4-3. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"Feels good to get the job done," Goldschmidt said after the game.
