Kansas City rode a late-inning surge to complete the series sweep, turning a six-inning no-no into a 6-2 win at Kauffman. Davis Martin carried a potential gem into the sixth, but Chicago’s bats stalled and the bullpen faded. Lenyn Sosa supplied the Sox with an early jolt via a 426-foot homer, yet KC countered with timely hits and a decisive late push. India tied it with a long two-run shot in the seventh, Witt Jr. sparked the eighth with a single and a swipe, and Salvador Perez delivered the capper as Adam Frazier homered in the late frames. The White Sox’ 14th straight loss at KC underscored a rough rebuild, while the Royals leaned on a mix of power and mobility to remind fantasy managers that depth in KC is real.

Antecedent to the collapse, Chicago had left 11 runners on base, and questions linger about the Sox’s bullpen stability. Benintendi’s rough patch amid a rough stretch was noted by teammates as the team tries to recapture momentum. Kansas City, meanwhile, leaned into its rising offense, leveraging Witt Jr.’s speed, Yastrzemski’s hot bat, and the veteran Perez to plate crucial runs down the stretch. The next slate will test both teams’ resilience, with KC aiming to keep the offense humming against upcoming contenders while Chicago tries to salvage what remains of a season teetering toward triple digits in losses.
