Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoán Moncada put a good swing on a Josh Staumont pitch in the sixth inning Thursday at Guaranteed Rate Fields.
But instead of a game-tying RBI double, Kansas City Royals first baseman Carlos Santana made a diving stop and won the race to the bag for the final out of the inning.
José Abreu and César Hernández both had two hits. The Sox finished with six hits a night after being limited to four iWednesday in a 9-1 loss.
The Sox didn’t catch many breaks offensively or defensively, dropping two of three in the series.
