The Royals entered the road series struggling offensively after a strong 10-game homestand and a previous sweep of the White Sox. Chicago held a four-run advantage through much of the game as Martin Perez outdueled Michael Lorenzen, allowing one hit and striking out five. Kansas City ignited a comeback beginning in the eighth inning, scoring five late runs and attacking relievers Jordan Leasure and Grant Taylor. Maikel Garcia and Michael Massey delivered two-run singles that produced the tying and go-ahead runs, and Kyle Isbel drove in the decisive run for a 5-4 comeback victory.
"The key is just fight," Garcia said. "You know, the game doesn't end until there's 27 outs. You have to keep fighting and keep going. And we knew we had a chance to come back in the game."
"I mean, the at-bats in that inning were just incredible," Isbel said. "I think the momentum kind of led from the inning before, getting those couple of runs and (being) able to get on the board there. It was a slow start, but that's why we play 27 outs."
