KANSAS CITY -- The Royals continue to find positive developments as they evaluate their active roster in preparation for next season.
On Wednesday night, they witnessed a solid outing from left-hander Eric Skoglund, who will be a candidate for the rotation in 2019. Skoglund, who was making his first start since May 25 after recovering from a left UCL sprain, offered five innings of two-run ball in the Royals' 4-2 loss to the White Sox in 12 innings at Kauffman Stadium.
Right-hander Burch Smith gave up a two-out, two-run home run to White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson in the 12th.
