The Kansas City Royals ended the Chicago White Sox's three-game winning streak with a 7-5 victory. Salvador Perez and Bobby Witt Jr. both homered, while Jac Caglianone had a standout game, going 4-for-4. The Royals pitching struggled in the ninth inning but held on, with Carlos Estevez securing the save. Pitcher Michael Lorenzen secured his first win since April 29, showing standout performance against an initially strong White Sox lineup. Notably, Perez's home run marked his 30th game-tying homer, moving him to second place in Royals history for such achievements.
"Carlos Estevez tempered a late White Sox rally to earn his 19th save, striking out Tim Elko with the bases loaded to end the game."
"Royals pitching retired 18 straight batters from the third through sixth innings before Chicago scored three runs against Tyler Richards, who allowed the first five hitters to reach base in the ninth."
