CHICAGO (AP) \u2014 Jarred Kelenic had two hits and two RBIs, and the Chicago White Sox beat the Kansas City Royals 6-5 on Wednesday night for their fourth straight win.<\/p>\n
Colson Montgomery homered during a three-hit performance, helping Chicago improve to 15-8 in its last 23 games. Tyler Davis (1-1) pitched 1 2\/3 scoreless innings for his first major league win.<\/p>\n
At 21-21, the White Sox reached .500 for the first time since they were 2-2 on March 31, 2025.<\/p>\n
Kansas City finished with five hits in its fifth loss in seven games. Seth Lugo (1-3) permitted five runs and eight hits in five innings.<\/p>\n
The Royals trailed 6-3 before Bobby Witt Jr. hit a two-run homer off Seranthony Dom\u00ednguez with two out in the ninth. But Dom\u00ednguez struck out pinch-hitter Jac Caglianone for his 10th save in 12 chances.<\/p>\n
The White Sox had a 3-0 lead before the Royals rallied in the fourth. Noah Schultz walked the bases loaded, and Nick Loftin hit a sacrifice fly. Vinnie Pasquantino followed with a shallow flyball that went off the glove of a diving Sam Antonacci in left-center for a two-run single.<\/p>\n
The White Sox responded with two runs in the fifth. With two out and runners on first and second, Kelenic hit a drive to right for a two-run double.<\/p>\n
Montgomery made it 6-3 when he led off the seventh with his 11th homer, a 399-foot drive to right on John Schreiber\u2019s first pitch of the game.<\/p>\n
Kansas City put runners on the corners with none out in the seventh, but Jordan Hicks escaped the jam by striking out Maikel Garcia, Witt and Lane Thomas.<\/p>\n
