Seranthony Domínguez picked up his second save as the White Sox
snapped a 14-game losing streak at Kauffman Stadium.
Kansas City starter Seth Lugo (1-1) was nearly as good as Kay,
allowing two runs in 6 1/3 innings. He allowed four hits and
struck out four, but issued a season-high four walks, twice his
total so far this season.
Two of those walks came in the seventh, with Andrew Benintendi,
who reached via the first walk of the inning, scoring Chicago's
second run on Luisangel Acuña's sacrifice fly.
The White Sox got on the board in the fourth. Munetaka Murakami
coaxed a leadoff walk from Lugo. He then scored on a one-out
double by Colson Montgomery.
Lugo was bailed out by a couple of stellar double plays. In the
second, third baseman Maikel Garcia fielded a hard grounder in
the hole, raced to second and then fired a throw to first to
turn two.
In the sixth, Bobby Witt Jr. grabbed a line drive by Murakami
behind second. He raced to the bag and got Murakami at first.
The Royals had their best chance to score in the seventh after
Garcia and Witt hit two-out singles. But Grant Taylor got
Pasquantino to ground out to end the inning.
Up next
The White Sox and Royals will play the second game of a
four-game series on Friday night. Chicago will send RHP Davis
Martin (2-0, 2.45 ERA) to the mound to face Kansas City LHP Kris
Bubic (1-1, 4.09).
