KANSAS CITY -- Javier Baez added to his home run and RBI totals, as well as another defensive clip to his highlight reel on Monday night.
Baez smacked a go-ahead home run leading off the sixth inning, added an RBI double in the eighth and made a stellar defensive play to back starter Cole Hamels in the Cubs' 3-1 Interleague victory over the Royals at Kauffman Stadium. Chicago is now 9-9 since the All-Star break.
Making his second start since the Cubs acquired him from the Rangers, Hamels scattered seven hits over six innings, striking out two.
