As we have seen many times this season, an early lead is no match for the Royals bullpen.
A rapid fire rally jump started the Royals but a really bad bullpen blew up the car in a 5-3 loss to the White Sox.
Chicago starter and Old Friend James Shields stayed out of trouble for the better half of seven innings but ran into an old-fashioned keep-the-line-moving Royals rally in the 3rd. Starting with Alcides Escobar, four of the next five Royals got hits, including a Whit Merrifield RBI double and a Salvador Perez RBI single.
