Royals 7, White Sox 6 (13 innings): Three comebacks, no leads

Sox erase three deficits and put a rare blown save on Greg Holland's tab, yet still lose

There's some poetry in seeing Geovany Soto's bid to end the game in the 12th inning hit the wall, while Lorenzo Cain's 13th-inning fly cleared the fence by plenty.

The White Sox aren't as bad as they've looked at times this season. They're just short in a few areas, and power is chief among them. They weren't supposed to struggle this much with the long ball, while the lack of on-base skills was more apparent.

They're also short on ideas.
