The Kansas City Royals fell to 74-73 with Friday night’s 7-4 loss to the White Sox. KC now finds itself 7.0 games behind wild card leaders Baltimore and Toronto with 15 games to play. Their playoff hopes are all but dead.
The pathetic KC Royals entered the eighth inning with a 4-2 lead against Chicago ace Chris Sale. They appeared poised to break their four game losing streak behind another excellent outing from starter Ian Kennedy. Kennedy lasted 6.0 innings, allowing 5 hits, 3 walks, and 2 earned runs with 6 strikeouts.
