Phillies 1, Royals 0
Close shave ends Phils losing streak
A two-out double by Shirls drove in Nine in the top of the fifth with the game's only run as the Phils went on to blank the Royals, 1-0. Pace (2-4) pitched a dynamite game for the Phils, getting the outs when he needed them. Pace scattered five hits and fanned three with two walks. Old Man Dave had a four-hit game for the Royals. Mikey (2-4) was the tough luck loser for the Royals, also scattering five hits. He struck out five and walked one.
