Heavy thunderstorms and an unfavorable weather forecast caused the Chicago White Sox-Kansas City Royals game to be postponed Thursday night about an hour before the first pitch.

White Sox shortstop Jimmy Rollins has hit.
I wasn’t putting an easy win in the bank. There’s nobody hanging their heads.
“I think a loud, energizing environment gets the best out of you.” he said. It’s tough. Long season. “Just get ready for tomorrow and try to get some more outs”.
Rather than let the game go in despair, the Kansas City Royals launched a seven-run rally to take an 8-7 victory.
“We know how things are going right now, but it’s going to change”, Gonzalez said. When asked specifically about missing Moustakas, Yost also inquired, “We’re going to have to pick up his offense as a group, but we’ve been doing that here lately”. And that’s what it’s all about.
If you have a pitch that isn’t so hot that night, you can keep throwing it, but throw it out of the zone or in spots where throwing a bad one won’t hurt you. Garcia singled home Brett Lawrie with the first run of the inning.
Held to six hits through eight innings, the Royals doubled their total in the ninth and overcame a seven-run deficit for the first time since beating San Francisco on June 22, 2008.
White Sox manager Robin Ventura said he preferred to face Hosmer with Duke versus loading the bases for Salvador Perez and calling upon Jones.
If you can tack on that “insurance run”, the opposition can’t beat you with one swing of the bat, and that means pitchers can be very aggressive about throwing strikes.
“It might”, third baseman Todd Frazier admitted.
Your teams on the go or at home. Eric Hosmer has 57 hits with 27 runs, nine homers and 28 RBI. He has hit with some really nice power too and is certainly available. It is, it’s nice to see. What we may miss is Moose being a leader in the clubhouse but he will be with the team during his recovery so hopefully he can continue to lead even though he will not be playing. We’ve just got to square them up.
Aaron Hill and Jonathan Lucroy had two hits apiece for Milwaukee, who saw their four-game winning streak come to an end. He is 6-0 since his last loss on September 7, 2011, while with Atlanta. Wade Davis picked up his 13th save in 14 attempts.
Braves 7, Marlins 2 • Gordon Beckham hit a three-run homer and host Atlanta secured its first home series win of the season.
“What are you going to do?” Valencia was a part of the Royals back in 2014, but was dealt to the Toronto Blue Jays around the trade deadline in a rather forgettable move. One of them is Alex Gordon, who is expected to be back in action by the all-star break after breaking a bone in his hand. “We’re looking forward to them coming up and being productive”. That’s what they do. “So we’ll just continue to look at it”. In his 10 starts and 5-4 record this season, Volquez has put up a 3.67 ERA and a 1.39 WHIP across 61.1 innings of work.
The injury-plagued Kansas City Royals are now sitting two games back from the league leading White Sox.

Perez was taken for a MRI after the game and the extent of his injury was not announced. LHP Carlos Quintana will start Monday at NY. The White Sox squandered a leadoff single by Tyler Saladino in the road half of ninth, and then it was the Royals’ turn. Ventura is 2-4 with a 7.16 ERA in his past six starts.
