Taylor Hits 2 home runs in Cubs Win
A 4-RBI performance from center fielder Michael A. Taylor led the Chicago Cubs to a 8-5 win over the Kansas City Royals. The Cubs improved to 59-55.

The Cubs beat the Royals with some clutch hitting. The single by Jedd Gyorko in the top of the sixth is a good example. With two down, Gyorko gave his team the lead, 3-2, when he came through with the big hit.

"You can't take yourself too seriously," Gyorko told the Chicago Bulletin. "But at the end of the day, we do play to win ballgames."
