Sox stranded in K.C.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The White Sox will be happy to stop playing the Royals and start rooting for them.

Despite another solid start from All-Star pitcher Chris Sale, the Sox couldn’t figure out crafty Kansas City left-hander Bruce Chen on Wednesday night. Alex Gordon and Billy Butler provided the offense, and the Royals held on for a 3-0 victory to end the Sox’s five-game winning streak.

The numbers that are even more jarring: Kansas City is 8-2 over its past 10 games against the Sox, who saw their lead in the AL Central trimmed to two games over the Detroit Tigers.
