KANSAS CITY -- For three innings against the White Sox on Thursday night, Royals right-hander Kris Medlen looked a bit too much like the last time he took the mound -- six runs in fewer than four innings against Cleveland.
But something clicked in the fourth inning and Medlen was off to the races. In all, he retired the last 10 hitters he faced, three with strikeouts, and the Royals locked down a 6-4 win in the rubber game.
"The first three innings and the last three innings were like night and day in terms of release point, timing, everything," Medlen said.
