Clutch Hitting Delivers Win for Royals
The Kansas City Royals faced a tough opponent in Chicago pitcher George Kirby, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Guaranteed Rate Field by a final score of 6-1. Kirby went 8 innings and allowed 1 run. Now 6-13, the White Sox have gotten off to a poor start.

Kansas City used the timely hitting of Gustavo López to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Royals on top, 2-1. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"Chalk one up for the good guys," said López. "I'm sure our fans enjoyed that win."
