The Chiefs scored the game's only run on a wild pitch by pitcher Matt Oye with one out in the eighth.
The Kernels' Jean Segura singled to open the top of the ninth, took second on a sacrifice bunt by Matt Long and third on a wild pitch. He was thrown out trying to score on a grounder to short by Jeremy Cruz.
Oye (0-1) took the loss in relief of starter Ariel Pena, who worked allowed three hits and struck out eight in six innings.
