The Royals got on the board in the first inning with an RBI single from Vinnie Pasquantino, driving in Maikel Garcia.

Andrew Benintendi delivered a clutch double, bringing home both Gavin Sheets and Lenyn Sosa to tie the game, followed by an RBI single from Dominic Fletcher to push us into a 3-3 tie!
Mid-Game Woes
Unfortunately, the Royals didn't let up. Salvador Perez knocked in another run in the third, putting the Royals back on top. White Sox rallied defensively, but struggles on offense kept us from putting more runs on the board. We had some chances with Nick Senzel doubling in the 4th, but couldn't capitalize, leaving us trailing 6-3 by the end of the fifth inning.Late-Game Breakdown
Our bullpen tried to stem the tide, but a disastrous ninth inning saw the Royals pummel us with 4 more runs, including a two-run homer from Pasquantino. We had no answers for Kansas City's offense, as every attempt to mount a comeback fell short. The Royals' dominance in the final innings left the score unflatteringly at 10-3.Bright Spots and Looking Forward
