The Royals were back in a winning mood as they kicked off the first game of a ten-game homestand by defeating the Chicago White Sox 3-2.
Both teams went quietly in the first four innings with the only excitement coming from White Sox centerfielder Adam Eaton hurting his shoulder falling to the ground after making a catch in the fourth, causing him to leave the game. The Royals finally got on the board in the fifth when Alex Rios doubled home Mike Moustakas who had reached on a walk.
