(AP Photo\/Charlie Riedel)(Charlie Riedel | AP)<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The last four White Sox relievers \u2014 Bryan Hudson, Jordan Leasure (1-0), Lucas Sims, and Seranthony Dom\u00ednguez \u2014 combined for six strikeouts in 4 1\/3 hitless innings. Dom\u00ednguez got three outs for his third save.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Following the long delay, Murray launched a two-run homer off starter Noah Cameron in the second to give the White Sox a 2-0 lead. That snapped a Chicago scoreless streak that lasted 21 2\/3 innings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">It was the second career hit for the 26-year-old Murray, who debuted in the majors on April 5.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Kansas City erased the deficit by drawing four walks and scoring three runs in the third. Montgomery put the White Sox back in front 4-3 with his two-run homer in the fourth, but the Royals took a 5-4 lead in the bottom half on RBI singles by Isaac Collins and Bobby Witt Jr.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Cameron was removed after loading the bases with one out in the sixth. Nick Mears retired Montgomery on a foul popup, but then walked pinch-hitter Andrew Benintendi to force in the tying run.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2026 KCTV.
