Routing first parameter in URL to an action

I have set up a blog using URL slugs. Say my domain is darn.it and the
title for my first post is "I lost my shoe". My blog posts are
displaying at darn.it/posts/i-lost-my-shoe. Easy as pie, er, cake.

I want to route it so the first parameter in the url is the slug. So
darn.it/i-lost-my-shoe would map to controller => posts, action =>
view. Below is my routing, but I'm missing something because it's not
passing the slug to the view method properly. Or maybe it's not
calling the view method. Any advice?

Router::connect(
'/:slug',
array('controller' => 'posts', 'action' => 'view'),
array('slug' => '^[a-zA-Z0-9_]{1,}$')
);
