Dan Reichert pitched five solid innings to improve to 8-7 on the season as the Kansas City Royals beat the Chicago Cubs last night 4-2. Reichert allowed just the two runs on five hits and he got a lot of help from his friends in the bullpen. Five Royals relievers combined to twirl four shutout innings with Roberto Hernandez getting the final three outs for save number seventeen. The Royals win for just the second time in 12 games.
