Right fielder Melky Cabrera slammed 2 homeruns and scored 3 times as the
Kansas City Royals beat the ice-cold Chicago (AL) White Sox by a score of 9
to 3.
Cabrera was a seemingly constant irritant to the hometown fans as he provided
much of the offense for the visitors. He smashed a solo-shot out of the park
in the 5th inning, hit a single in the 7th inning and clubbed a solo home run
in the 9th inning. The Kansas City offense poured it on, scoring in 7 of the
9 innings.
The win went to Danny Duffy(12-7) who allowed 2 runs in 7 and 1/3 innings.
Mike Pelfrey(4-7) was charged with the loss. He served up 4 homeruns in his
5 and 2/3 innings.
The Kansas City ballclub's record now stands at 56-61. Still in a bad slump,
with this loss, Chicago (AL) is 1-9 lately and 40-75, worst in the division
on the year.
