Kansas City RoyalsvsChicago White Sox
KC 1/CHW 22
Things to say
The White Sox hammered the Royals 22-1 at Rate Field.
01
opener
Man, that wasn't a game, it was a batting practice. White Sox put up 22 on the Royals. You could've left after the fourth and not missed a thing.
02
key player
The whole heart of the order was locked in, but the Sox lineup just kept turning over. Everybody got a knock, half of them left the yard.
03
hot take
Honestly the Royals manager left his starter out to die. Down double digits and still riding him? Go to the pen, save some arms.
04
deep cut
Quietly the Sox bullpen barely had to work since they were up twenty. That's the real win on a getaway day, you keep everybody fresh.
05
exit
Anyway, 22-1, can't read too much into a beatdown like that. Curious if KC bounces back tomorrow or if they're just cooked.
The recap
The White Sox didn't just beat the Royals, they buried them 22-1 at Rate Field. Chicago's bats stayed hot from the first pitch to the last, hanging crooked numbers all over the board while Kansas City never got into the game.
Whatever the Royals threw out there got left in the yard, and by the middle innings this one was a laugher. KC drops to 34-49 and heads home from a getaway day they'll want to forget.
