Kelenic and Montgomery help the White Sox top the Royals 6-5 for their 4th straight win
CHICAGO (AP) — Jarred Kelenic had two hits and two RBIs, and the Chicago White Sox beat the Kansas City Royals 6-5 on Wednesday night for their fourth straight win. Colson Montgomery homered during a three-hit performance, helping Chicago improve to 15-8 in its last 23 games. Tyler Davis (1-1) pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings for his first major league win.
At 21-21, the White Sox reached . 500 for the first time since they were 2-2 on March 31, 2025. Kansas City finished with five hits in its fifth loss in seven games.
Seth Lugo (1-3) permitted five runs and eight hits in five innings. The Royals trailed 6-3 before Bobby Witt Jr. hit a two-run homer off Seranthony Domínguez with two out in the ninth.
But Domínguez struck out pinch-hitter Jac Caglianone for his 10th save in 12 chances. The White Sox had a 3-0 lead before the Royals rallied in the fourth. Noah Schultz walked the bases loaded, and Nick Loftin hit a sacrifice fly.
Vinnie Pasquantino followed with a shallow flyball that went off the glove of a diving Sam Antonacci in left-center for a two-run single. The White Sox responded with two runs in the fifth. With two out and runners on first and second, Kelenic hit a drive to right for a two-run double.
