Floyd helps Sox edge Kansas City

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Gavin Floyd is healthy again and hoping to help the White Sox get back to the playoffs.

Floyd pitched seven crisp innings, Alex Rios hit a tiebreaking homer in the seventh and the Sox beat the Kansas City Royals, 3-2, on Tuesday night for their fifth consecutive win.

Alejandro De Aza and Gordon Beckham also went deep for AL Central-leading Sox, who maintained a three-game advantage over Detroit and improved to 6-10 against the Royals. The Sox had lost seven of eight against Kansas City.
