It was a back and forth game until it wasn’t. The Kansas City Royals ultimately got their revenge on Dylan Cease by tagging him with seven earned runs, using a rocket ship sixth inning to zoom past the Chicago White Sox for good in a 12-5 victory over the Southsiders.
Zack Greinke gutted his way through 5.2 innings, allowing four runs. It wasn’t his best work, and like much of the last act of his career, he struggled with getting strikeouts when it counted (he only ended up with two on the evening). He allowed six hits to White Sox batters, including an absolute unit of a line drive home run to Gavin Sheets.
