Royals Rally Past White Sox to Secure Series Sweep

Late-inning bullpen failures and faltering offense leave the White Sox facing an uphill battle to avoid a third straight 100-loss season.

Overview

  • Davis Martin carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning and finished six innings of one-hit ball with four strikeouts and three walks before departing with the game tied.
  • Relievers Steven Wilson, Grant Taylor and Jordan Leasure surrendered five earned runs in the seventh and eighth innings, erasing Chicago’s early lead.
  • Kansas City’s comeback was fueled by Jonathan India’s two-run homer in the seventh, RBI singles from Maikel Garcia and Salvador Perez and Adam Frazier’s two-run shot in the eighth.
  • Chicago’s offense managed just two runs in Sunday’s finale and produced five runs over the three-game series while leaving 11 runners stranded on base.
  • The defeat extended the White Sox’s losing streak at Kauffman Stadium to 14 games, dropped their record to 44-80 and precedes a three-game road trip to Atlanta.
