Cubs Bang Out 6-5 Win Versus Kansas City
Chicago beat Kansas City at Kauffman Stadium, escaping with a 6-5 win. The win in large part was due to catcher Willson Contreras, who earned player of the game honors. He went 1-3 with a home run and 2 walks, while scoring 2 runs. Chicago reliever Tony Cingrani picked up the win, upping his record to 5-1. Adam Warren took the loss. Roberto Osuna got the save, his 16th in 16 chances.

A crucial at-bat came with a runner on 1st and no one out in the top of the seventh inning. That's when left fielder Justin Upton, who is tied for 3rd in the NL in extra base hits with 58, hit a single. The Cubs went on to win.

"It's nice to come out on top today," said Contreras.

Chicago is now 60-55, Kansas City 51-62.
