Royals rookies rake in rout, 6-2

Zach Greinke had a solid outing and the rookie hitters for the Royals had a field day at the dish as Kansas City beats Chicago 6-2.

The Royals quickly jumped on Lucas Giolito. In the bottom of the first, the Royals loaded the bases with a single and two walks, but MJ Melendez struck out to end the threat. The White Sox got on the board in the second inning when Leury Garcia singled home Jose Abreu, who had led off the inning with a double. The Royals responded immediately. With two out in the bottom of the frame, Nicky Lopez grounded a single, stole second base, and came around to score on a Whit Merrifield single.
