The White Sox, slippin’ and slidin’ through the dog days of another lost season, lace ’em up for the second of three tonight in Kansas City. The Royals still have delusions of the postseason, while the White Sox just hope to finish at least 12-28 to avoid the outright second-most losses in franchise history. #Goals

As for the lineups, well, when do the White Sox ever hold the advantage there? The best we’re running out tonight is high-slug, not much else Colson Montgomery and running-on-fumes Mike Tauchman, again as our unlikely leadoff man
There are no real matchup clues vis-a-vis pitcher-batter, but the best I can give you is Benny and Luis Robert Jr. having some significant PAs vs. Lorenzen — and not faring well.
