"Smith retired the first eight Royals he faced before Kyle Isbel reached on a fielding error. Mike Yastrzemski followed with a ground-rule double, but Smith escaped trouble by getting Bobby Witt Jr. to ground out to third to end the third. Gilbert set down six of seven over the last two innings. Witt Jr.'s two-out double in the ninth was Kansas City's only other hit."
"Lee blasted a two-run home run with two outs in the fourth to extend Chicago's lead to 5-0. Baldwin followed with a solo shot as the White Sox's 8-9 hitters victimized Cameron. Recalled Friday from Triple-A Charlotte, Lee went 2-for-3 with a walk. Sosa had two hits and two RBIs, Mead also had two hits and Miguel Vargas doubled twice."
Shane Smith and Tyler Gilbert combined on a two-hit shutout as the Chicago White Sox defeated the Kansas City Royals 7-0. Chicago produced seven extra-base hits and completed a third winning streak of at least three games since the All-Star break. An early first-inning surge featured RBI doubles by Edgar Quero, Lenyn Sosa and Curtis Mead to make it 3-0. Smith allowed one hit over seven innings with one walk and three strikeouts and earned his first win since June 10. Korey Lee and Brooks Baldwin hit back-to-back homers in the fourth. Royals starter Noah Cameron yielded six earned runs and eight hits.
