On Wednesday night, Major League Baseball broke its single-season home run record when Baltimore Orioles shortstop Jonathan Villar hit the 6,1106th home run of the season. The series between the Chicago White Sox and the Kansas City Royals have fed right into that and helped that record be broken just a little bit quicker. This series has been dominated by the long ball and that is where almost every run in the series has come from.
The first game saw the White Sox defeat the Royals by a final score of 7-3. Ivan Nova got the win for the White Sox while Jakob Junis was dealt the loss.
