Cubs Win in Extras
The Chicago Cubs beat the Kansas City Royals, 9-7, in 11 innings. Chicago left fielder Luis Gonzalez merited player of the game honors with his performance. He went 4 for 5 with a double, 3 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 times. Doug Jones locked down his 14th save. Chicago is now riding a 3-game win streak.

The contest featured some late-game dramatics from Chicago first baseman Eric Karros. In the top of the 11th inning, with no one out and a runner on 1st, Karros hit a 2-run home run to help Chicago seize the win.

In postgame comments, Karros said he was glad to contribute to an exciting win.
