White Sox blast Royals 9-2 after 7-run seventh inning

After dropping the first two games of the weekend, the Royals were hammered in the series finale against the White Sox, 9-2.

For the first time on the season, Jakob Junis took the bump. The right-hander worked around some mild trouble in the first two innings with a pair of double plays. One of them came in the unlikeliest of ways.

Junis received some run support in the bottom of the second inning. With two outs and nobody on, Alex Gordon pounded his first home run of the season into the fountains in right-center field.
