The Royals started their season series with the first-place Chicago White Sox on a high note on Friday night.
The Royals have made a reputation for themselves by playing their best baseball when the stakes are highest. Heading into a three-game weekend series with the AL Central-leading Chicago White Sox, it was clear that the 20-20 Royals needed to make a statement.
