Royals Drop White Sox, 6-4
The rain came, as predicted, but the Kansas City Royals and Chicago White Sox were able to complete their ballgame.

Behind the hitting of Elias Díaz, the Kansas City Royals stopped the Chicago White Sox, 6-4, in 11 innings. Díaz was 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times for the Royals. Early on, the Royals, at 12-5, have played an impressive brand of baseball.

The game was at a stalemate until center fielder Kevin Kiermaier came to bat in the top of the 11th. Facing Chicago pitcher Sean Burke, he hit a 2-2 fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Kansas City on top, 5-4.

In postgame remarks, Kiermaier simply said: "Here's to a great win!"
