Royals 5, White Sox 4: Swept in Kansas City again

Jake Petricka beaten by bottom of Royals order after Sox tie it in eighth

Every time the White Sox rise to face a measuring stick, they get clubbed back into the ground by it.

While the Yankees hammered the Sox with a couple big blows, the Royals went about with a methodical tap-tap-tap. Three games, three one-run losses.

This one resembled the last 5-4 defeat they suffered (against the Rays on Monday) -- the White Sox clawed back into this game twice, but they could never take the lead, and the bullpen provided the awful aftertaste.
