Shane Smith dazzled in seven innings of one-hit ball as the White Sox crushed the Royals 7-0 in Kansas City, fueling a late-season push with a breakout performance from the rookie. Three RBI doubles in the first fueled the offense, Korey Lee and Brooks Baldwin supplied more later, and Colson Montgomery and Kyle Teel watched from the bench as Chicago manages a grueling 17-game stretch. The staff praised Smith’s poise and stuff, signaling a potential stabilization for a young rotation.
