CHICAGO -- Before his team used up every reliever but one on Saturday, Royals manager Ned Yost said his bullpen was "deeper than it was last year." And he proved himself right behind an unlikely name.
In his first year with the Royals, Ryan Madson picked up his first save since 2011 by pitching a scoreless 13th to help his team to a 7-6 victory over the White Sox.
"Our bullpen guys have been fantastic all year long," Yost said. "We had [Franklin Morales] hot in the sixth, then we brought in [Kelvin] Herrera, who did a nice job and gave up the home run, but that's a nice piece of hitting.
