Royals 7, White Sox 5: Ninth-inning surge falls short

The Chicago White Sox fell, 7-5, to the Kansas City Royals in what was ALMOST a comeback for the books. However encouraging, the fight from the team in the ninth wasn’t enough to get the win.

The White Sox got out to an early lead against Michael Lorenzen thanks to Miguel Vargas and his ninth home run of the season, a line-drive rocket to left field for a 2-0 lead. Shortly after followed Nancy Faust on the organ, and all was well.

Mike Vasil got out of an early second-inning jam after a strikeout and double play to erase a walk and a single.
