With Justin Chere, the scheduled starter, stuck in brutal Sunday morning traffic, Cormac Sullivan took the mound in an emergency start and gave the Royals 4 innings of shutout baseball. A balanced offense was led by Brian Williams (2-3, 2 runs, 2 RBI, 1 BB) and rookie Steve Rivela (2-4, 2 2B, 2 runs, 1 RBI).
