The Chicago White Sox<\/a>\u2019s 6-5 win over the Royals<\/a> on Wednesday night was briefly delayed after a fan fell into the Kansas City bullpen in right field.<\/p>\n

The game at Rate Field in Chicago was suddenly stopped in the fourth inning without much of an explanation. Medical personnel went rushing out into the Royals\u2019 bullpen after a fan fell.<\/p>\n

The fan was tended to in the bullpen and eventually taken out on a gurney, according to ESPN\u2019s Bradford Doolittle<\/a>. The White Sox confirmed that the fan was then taken to a local hospital for treatment. Further specifics on the fan\u2019s condition, or what led to the incident, are not yet known.<\/p>\n

The White Sox were up 3-0 at the time, before the Royals tied the game up in the inning after the brief pause in the contest. Jarred Kelenic<\/a> hit a two-run double in the fifth and Colson Montgomery<\/a> hit a solo home run in the seventh to put the White Sox back out in front. That was enough to lift them toward the one-run win.<\/p>\n

That marked the fourth straight win for the White Sox, who now sit at 21-21 on the season. According to ESPN\u2019s Jesse Rogers<\/a>, this is the first time the franchise has reached .500 this late in the season since the end of the 2022 campaign, when they finished 81-81.<\/p>\n

The two teams will wrap up the three-game series Thursday night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Chicago White Sox\u2019s 6-5 win over the Royals on Wednesday night was briefly delayed after a fan…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":698515,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2387],"tags":[5,10448,1043,936,2123,55,2596,2595,4,252,396],"class_list":["post-698514","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-kansas-city-royals","tag-baseball","tag-colson-montgomery","tag-jarred-kelenic","tag-kansas","tag-kansas-city","tag-kansas-city-royals","tag-kansascity","tag-kansascityroyals","tag-mlb","tag-royals","tag-white-sox"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116571549432473803","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/698514","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=698514"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/698514\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/698515"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=698514"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=698514"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=698514"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
