Royals Sunk by White Sox
The Chicago White Sox downed the Kansas City Royals, 4-1, at Rate Field. Stellar pitching by Ben Eckels had a lot to do with it. The right-hander, who finished 4th in the NL in wins with 14 in 2021, handcuffed his opponent all game. Eckels got the win, improving to 2-5. He gave up 4 hits and walked 2 over 6.2 innings. He allowed 1 run. The win for the White Sox lifted their record to 42-40.

The White Sox got a big at-bat from shortstop Dan Downing. For the game, Downing was 1 for 2 with a double and a walk. In the bottom of the fifth, with runners on 1st and 2nd, he stroked a run-scoring double. His 16th double of the season gave Chicago a 2-1 lead.

"It wasn't a very good day at the ballpark," said Kansas City manager Jim Tracy.
