Davis Martin's gem goes to waste in Kansas City as Sox stare down barrel of another 100-loss season
Briefly

Davis Martin pitched six no-hit innings against the Royals but the White Sox lost 6-2 after a poor bullpen performance. Although Lenyn Sosa gave the Sox an early lead with a home run, they struggled offensively, leaving 11 runners on base. The game turned when the Royals tied it in the seventh after Martin's exit. This loss extends the White Sox's losing streak at Kauffman Stadium to 14 games, adding to challenges they face in avoiding a third consecutive 100-loss season.
Despite a strong performance by Davis Martin, who took a no-hitter into the sixth inning and finished with six innings of one-hit ball, the White Sox suffered a disappointing 6-2 loss to the Royals. Martin's effort was overshadowed by the team's inability to maintain their lead, leaving 11 runners on base and later losing the game due to poor relief pitching and defensive misplays.
The game highlighted the struggles of the White Sox, marking their 14th consecutive loss at Kauffman Stadium and deepening concerns about their potential for a third straight season with over 100 losses. It showcased their offensive deficiencies, even with moments of brilliance such as Lenyn Sosa's 16th homer, and ultimately led to another early breakdown by the bullpen, erasing Martin's incredible performance.
