The Royals lost an extra-inning game Tuesday for the first time in five contests this season. When you walk the leadoff guy, he’s going to score.

“Not the normal guys coming in at the end, but Jacob has been moving up the ladder getting in there late in the game and Jennings is tough against lefties”, Ventura said. We just try to get quick outs, try to throw a good quality pitch.
Todd Frazier belted a three-run home run and the White Sox overcame a blown save by David Robertson to beat the Kansas City Royals 7-5 in 10 innings in front of 27,134. Coats’ liner to center brought home Anderson for his first major league RBI.Ynoa worked a career-high three innings and did not allow a hit, striking out three, before replaced him.NOTES: Royals DH/1B Kendrys Morales dropped the appeal of his one-game suspension and served the penalty Thursday.
Dillon Gee (4-5), the eighth Kansas City pitcher, struck out three in two flawless innings to pick up the victory. But Sox manager Robin Ventura said he “can’t imagine” what Abreu has been through being separated from his son. “I’m just anxious about getting outs and keeping my team in the game”. “I kind of think it’s a missed opportunity in a way, but I don’t think he intentionally did anything”. Alas, the game turned on a couple of close plays on Carson Fulmer’s watch in the sixth inning. “They realized he has a strain there”.
The White Sox recalled outfielder Jason Coats, who is hitting.329 with a.390 on-base percentage in 65 games with Triple-A Charlotte. “Every time that I start hitting again, something happens”, Garcia said. “I was happy to get the hit”. My hamstring, I hurt my hamstring and missed eight days. “I was happy I could help contribute to the team”.
White Sox: LHP Jose Quintana is 1-8 with a 4.28 ERA in 20 career starts against the Royals.
Duffy held the White Sox to seven singles, struck out six and walked none. Volquez had an 8.61 ERA in the first inning in his previous 23 starts.
Duffy, who lowered his American League-leading ERA to 2.82, was a third-round pick of the Royals in the 2007 draft. The Royals are 2-5 in their last 7 during game 3 of a series and 13-3 in Duffys last 16 starts. He’s still a threat to hit a monster home run and if James Shields pitches over the weekend, you can expect Stanton to go deep off the struggling pitcher.
