The Royals got another terrific outing by a starter, a late run on clutch hit, and the bullpen was barely able to hold on to preserve a 2-1 win over the White Sox Friday evening. The Royals improve to 4-4, the first time they have been at .500 since April 20, 2022.
The Royals got things going in the opening frame against White Sox starter Erick Fedde. With two outs, Vinnie Pasquantino singled, and Salvador Perez continued his hot start with an RBI double to make it 1-0 Royals. The White Sox immediately answered with a Gavin Sheets solo home run in the second to tie the game.
