The Chicago White Sox was from Kauffman Stadium by the Kansas City Royals, 6-2, as a Masterclass from Davis Martin was erased by a late Inning Bullpen collapse. The bats today again produced two lonely points, because the attack died for the series – five points in the last three games. The White Sox drops to 44-80 and takes up their 80th loss of the season in mid-August, which is not the best pace. In the meantime, the royals climbed a different competition over .500, because they are now 63-61 thanks to the South Siders.
Chicago had a promising start against Ryan Bergert – or, should I say, not the team, but only Lenyn Sosa. He bat a solo shot in the first half of the first inning, his team leading 16th home run of the season.
The team almost added another point in the first place, when Edgar Save Quero and Chase Midroth had a two-out double, but Quero was caught at home to end the inning instead of scoring. It is clearly more a lowlight than a peak, but we will show it anyway.
From there they were a few quiet innings for both teams, when Davis Martin drove through the Royals -Line -up for Five Hitless. No-hitter Watch early?
The Royals helped the South Siders for a new run, while Andrew Benintendi reached second on a field error by Adam Frazier in the left field. Edgar Quero made the mistake, because he had an RBI single to ride in the run and extend the lead to 2-0. Yes, the White Sox has actually capitalized from the fault of another team.
Do you remember that the no-hit bid? Yes, well, it was short -lived. Mike Yastrzemski ended Martin’s mission with a one-out Double in the bottom of the sixth, but that would all be for the inning. The White Sox threatened with more a great opportunity in the seventh inning, because the team had two-on, two-out, but a Benintendi-pop-out ended the inning. The downhill slope became even smoother in the second half of the seventh inning, when Martin was replaced – and the leadership too. Martin went six innings with one hit, three walks and four strikeouts and moved his era to the 3S at 3.94.
Steven Wilson started the seventh inning strong, but a two-out Double from Frazier was considered precious, because Jonathan India immediately bitten a two-run home run to bind the game, his eighth of the season.
The White Sox had a big chance to take the lead in the first half of the eighth inning, but a base blunder by Meidroth turned out to be expensive. With two out, Meidroth and Brooks Baldwin walked up with a double to the left. Usually with two out and a faster runner on the base, that run would score, but it seems that girl did not realize that two were out and stopped a bit between first and second to ensure that the ball dropped. Instead of a 3-2 lead, there were runners on the second and third with two, and Mike Tauchman caught up to end the inning.
This time the Royals immediately benefited from the SOX errors, because Grant Taylor had an eighth inning. Bobby Witt Jr. A single and stable second, and with two from the Royals de Runs unraveled. Maikel Garcia had the go-ahead run on a single. 3-2. Subsequently, the well-known SOX murderer Salvador Pérez hit a ball that was almost crushed from the stadium, but instead scored Garcia instead of the middle field wall. Jordan Lasure took over the hill on 4-2, which is almost never good. That was no different today, because Frazier hit a two-run home run to score Perez. The royals pushed to a 6-2 lead, all with two outs on the bottom of the eighth.
The White Sox went down 1-2-3 in the first half of the ninth inning, and that would do it. The breakdown of the Kansas City team continues, while losing their 14th consecutive match at the Kauffman Stadium. It gives me flashbacks to the teams of the early 2010 that I would see when I was 12, where they just couldn’t win in that stadium. Think history repeats itself!
The good news is that the Kansas City team leaves and does not return to 2026, where they can try to break that line. Instead, they travel to Atlanta to play the Braves in a three-game series from tomorrow evening. It will be a CT start time of 18.15 hours for Yadrys Gómez and Spencer Strider.
Davis Martin was the MVP today, because Brooks Baldwin was his only game. Sorry, Brooks.
And sorry, the attempt at poll for cold cats didn’t work, so we’re going with Steven Wilson.
