On the heels of five consecutive losses, the Royals wrapped up their 10-game season series with the White Sox Sunday. Despite a handful of chances to break through offensively in the early innings, Kansas City was swept by the first place South Siders, 8-2. It was Chicago’s first four-game sweep over the Royals since July of 1997.
The Royals handed the ball to Matt Harvey, who made his fourth start of the season. Only this time, Harvey would be used as an opener rather than a starter. The right-hander worked through the first two innings without allowing a run.
