White Sox, Moncada Blast Royals, 11-1
The Chicago White Sox powered past the Kansas City Royals, 11-1, at Kauffman Stadium. Yoan Moncada was 3 for 5 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once, to lead the charge. Addison Reed notched his 1st save in 1 chances. The win for the White Sox lifted their record to 80-68.

It could have been a different outcome for Chicago, had it not been for Eduardo Escobar, the 31-year old third baseman . Escobar contributed a run-scoring ground out in the top of the fourth inning to put Chicago up, 1-0.

"It's good to win," Escobar told the Chicago Gazette. "I like to have fun doing it."
