Ariel Martinez threw a 8 inning complete game while giving up only 4 hits, and stiking out a career high 15 Cubs. Martinez was in danger of losing this gem due to some timely Cub hitting until he helped himself out in the 5th with a game tying, 2-out RBI double. The score stayed tied 2-2 until the 8th when the Royals put the game away with a go-ahead RBI single by Drew Kowalevicz followed-up by a 2 RBI single by Felix Villalobos. Mike Bristol kept the Royals at bay for most of the day on the mound. He went the full 8IP for the tough loss. Brian Delaney had a big day for the Cubs. He doubled in the 4th and later scored, and gunned out a runner at the plate in the 5th to keep things tied up.

Ariel gets it done on the mound and at the plate
