Jeff Samardzija struggled in Saturday’s loss to the Royals, yielding seven runs on six hits over 4 2/3 innings. Chicago will ask John Danks to continue his dominance of Kansas City in Friday?s opener while the Royals counter with Edinson Volquez. “You’ve got five days and you start again, so we’ll go back to work and be ready next time”.
Reverting back to the little things and small ball is what the White Sox need to do in order to break out of their latest slump. Recording his first career hit in the previous at-bat, Thompson added his first extra base hit with a ground rule double down the left field line. Chicago 2B Carlos Sanchez is 6-for-17 with two walks and three RBIs during his five-game hitting streak.3.
Jose Abreu homered to lead off the fourth and sixth innings for his fifth multi-homer game for the White Sox, but it wasn’t enough. It is exhausting to get wins when you’ll be able to’t mix that.
Trailing by two, the White Sox didn’t produce a run even though any kind of contact likely would have got the job done. As for the pitchers, opposing offenses have been stifled by the Royals, who have a team ERA of only 3.57.
White Sox: RHP Jeremy Guthrie will make his first start since July 29, when he yielded eight runs in 5 1-3 innings in a loss to the Indians. It may have been bad news on the injury front as well for the White Sox, as Adam Eaton left the game in the bottom of the fourth inning with a jammed shoulder.
“We had the big one there in the eighth and had a chance to move it along and score and probably tie it up if it goes right and didn’t get it done”, Ventura said.
Jarrod Dyson, making his first start in left field since the Royals acquired Ben Zobrist, drove one between Adam Eaton in center and right fielder Avisail Garcia. That triumph pushed the Royals to 35-18 at home and kept their lead in the AL Central at a comfortable 9 1/2 games.
“I got a one, two, three inning”, Holland said.
Royals: OF Alex Gordon (strained left groin) took batting practice for the first time since going on the disabled list July 9. The Royals’ Alcides Escobar is 2-for-12 (.167) in his career against White Sox starter Jeff Samardzija….
