Korey Lee’s two-way night headlines a rough White Sox showing, as he became only the third to catch and pitch in one game for Chicago, a feat last seen in 1902. In a 12-1 loss to Kansas City, Lee tossed two innings, allowing one run on four hits and two walks over 31 pitches, mixing an 89.5 mph fastball with a 42.8 mph floater for laughs and edge.

He borrowed Colson Montgomery’s glove in the eighth and Shane Smith’s in the ninth, a childhood throwback that underscored his versatility and team-first mindset. While the night belonged to the Royals’ blowout, Lee’s moment carved a tiny, bright notch in White Sox lore.

The anecdote sits alongside Ohtani’s legendary two-way exploits as context, a reminder of the evolving two-way conversation in baseball while Lee’s feat remains a rare modern SF-style moment for Chicago.

Benintendi’s fourth‑inning homer gave Chicago a brief lead, but Kansas City’s bats woke up in the fifth as the Royals bloomed for eight runs behind a steady-onslaught of good at‑bats and productive contact.

Salvador Perez started the rally with a solo shot, then Isbel and Witt Jr. added hits as the inning snowballed. Yastrzemski followed with a three‑run blast later in the game, sealing a lopsided win. Civale was tagged for five runs in 4 2/3, while Korey Lee handled catching duties and even pitched two innings after entering as a catcher—an eye‑opening two‑way moment for the Sox.
