"Chicago led 4-0 after seven innings and came within four outs of recording its third straight shutout. The Royals rallied for five runs and eight hits against the White Sox relief corps over the last two innings. Kansas City's Carlos Estevez struck out two in a perfect bottom of the ninth for his 35th save in 41 chances. Martin Perez pitched seven shutout innings and Colson Montgomery homered in his fourth straight game for Chicago."
"Perez shined in his third start since returning to the majors after missing nearly four months with left elbow inflammation. The veteran southpaw permitted one hit and a hit batter while striking out five, but the bullpen implosion cost him the opportunity for his first victory since March 31. After Kansas City loaded the bases with one out against Jordan Leasure in the eighth, Maikel Garcia greeted Grant Taylor with a two-run single to draw the Royals within 4-2."
Kansas City rallied from a 4-0 deficit to defeat Chicago 5-4, scoring five runs and collecting eight hits over the final two innings. Michael Massey delivered a two-run single in the ninth to tie the game, and Kyle Isbel followed with a go-ahead single. Carlos Estevez recorded a perfect bottom of the ninth with two strikeouts for his 35th save. Martin Perez pitched seven shutout innings and allowed one hit after returning from left elbow inflammation, while Colson Montgomery homered for Chicago. Royals relievers combined to produce the rally, with Sam Long earning the win.
