Chicago Cub starter Tyler Chatwood had a rough start Thursday night as he lasted only 2 1/3 innings in a lopsided 13-2 loss Thursday night to the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City. He allowed 8 runs on 11 hits in suffering his first loss of the season. The hosts scored one in the first, two in the second and five in the third before Chatwood was pulled. The Cubs were shut out until scoring twice in the ninth. With the loss, the Cubs had a 6 game winning streak snapped. They still lead the NL Central at 10-3 and will be in St Louis Friday night to begin a three game series against the Cardinals. The pitching pairing has Jon Lester (1-0) going for the Cubs and Daniel Ponce de Leon (0-1) for the 2-3 Redbirds.
