Six Pack of Stats: Royals 7, White Sox 1
Brooks Baldwin got his first major league hit, in his first major league at-bat.
That is about it.
This was the 27th game of one or fewer runs for the White Sox, 27% of their schedule. They are averaging 2.1 runs per game.
Top Play
With runners on the corners and one out in a 1-0 game, Andrew Benintendi worm-burned a 4-6-3 double-play grounder that killed the best rally of the game for Chicago. It was a 13.1% WPA swing from the White Sox to Royals.
Top Performer
Michael Wacha did not exactly pull rabbits out of a hat — it is the White Sox offense, after all — but in throwing seven innings of four-hit, one-walk ball with seven Ks, he piled up 30.5% WPA.
