White Sox 7, Royals 5: Bullpen finally up to task

Scoreless relief work preserves lead on night when starters combined to allow seven homers

I dropped into the city in the middle of this one, so let's play catch-up:

*One night after breaking a five-game losing streak, the White Sox snapped a nine-game losing streak to AL Central opponents. In the process, they extended Kansas City's misery to eight games and leap-frogged past them in the standings.

*Chris Sale finally picked up his 10th win, but he needed help to do it. The Royals gave him the customary hard time.
