Thanks to some power hitting and another strong start by Lucas Giolito, the White Sox (13-24) evened up the series in Kansas City against the Royals (10-27).
After a two-hour rain delay, the game got started at 8:40 p.m. Central. Once things got underway, the starting pitchers made sure that the fans did not go home too late. Starters Lucas Giolito and Jordan Lyles were quite efficient, going right after hitters and not wasting any time. The teams combined for two walks the entire game.
The only early trouble that either pitcher ran into was in the bottom of the first, when Vinnie Pasquantino launched his seventh home run this season.
