HR – CHA: J. Thome (9)
Despite being outhit (surprise, I know), we held on for the win. We were up 4-0 halfway through, and the Royals scored one in the seventh and one in the ninth, but they never really threatened. This was a big early-season win over one of the early contenders in the division. It pulled us into a tie for first at 14-12. Buehrle was solid like he usually is in big games. He went 8 innings, gave up 1 run on 9 hits and a walk and struck out 2.
