CHICAGO – The Kansas City Royals have been a thorn in the White Sox’s quest for the playoffs.

The Royals, playing for pride at this point with the postseason only a wishful thought, haven’t stopped trying to ruin the Sox’s season. Despite the Sox sitting atop the division, Kansas City has become the unsolvable puzzle. The Royals are 7-1 in their past eight games against the Sox and a three-game series in Kansas City still remains. The Royals are making sure the Sox understand that series won’t be a cakewalk.

Sox hitters yet again turned Royals right-hander Jeremy Guthrie into a Cy Young-caliber pitcher. For the third time this year, Guthrie shut down the Sox, part of a pitchers’ duel, in the a 2-1 10-inning Royals win Sunday.
