Tough Day for the Sox
Well, White Sox fans, it was a rough one at Guaranteed Rate Field as our South Siders fell 12-1 to the Kansas City Royals.
The game started encouragingly, with both pitchers keeping the score at a deadlock until the 4th inning.A Glimmer of Hope with Benintendi
Our only highlight of the game was thanks to Andrew Benintendi, who knocked one out of the park in the bottom of the 4th inning, giving us a brief lead at 1-0. The ball sailed 353 feet to right field. Imagine the noise, the hope, the excitement!

But things rapidly unraveled in the top of the 5th inning. Despite a solid start by Lenyn Sosa and Andrew Benintendi earlier, the Royals unloaded on us. They scored 8 runs, highlighted by key hits from their lineup, including a double by Perez and solid contributions from Frazier and Witt Jr. Unfortunately, after the pitching change, it was just too hard to control the damage.
Yastrzemski's Big Bat
The Royals' Mike Yastrzemski added insult to injury with an enormous three-run homer in the 6th inning, making it an 11-1 deficit that was insurmountable for our beloved Sox.
