The two clubs split the twin bill.
Davis Martin (2-3), the 27th man called up for the doubleheader
for the White Sox, allowed one run on three hits in 5 2/3
innings. He walked one and struck out three.
Liam Hendriks picked up his 23rd save in 26 chances.
Jonathan Heasley (1-7), the Royals' 27th man, took the loss. He
allowed two runs on seven hits in 5 1/3 innings. He walked just
one and struck out five. But he allowed two solo home runs.
Between games of the doubleheader, White Sox shortstop Tim
Anderson was placed on the 10-day injured list with a sagittal
band tear on the middle finger of his left hand. He suffered the
injury on a checked swing in his final at-bat in Saturday's
victory in Texas.
He is expected to miss up to six weeks. The White Sox are in
contention for the lead in the American League Central, but
losing Anderson could be costly.
The White Sox grabbed the lead in the third inning when Lenyn
Sosa connected for his first major league home run. He hit a
curveball 428 feet into the fountains over the wall in
left-center field.
Vinnie Pasquantino tied it in the fourth with a 404-foot shot to
right. He became the 13th Royal to hit home runs in both games
of a doubleheader. The last to do it was Whit Merrifield in
2017.
Yoan Moncada homered in the sixth inning to regain the lead for
the White Sox. He blasted one 426 feet to right-center field.
The White Sox added a run in the eighth on a double by Gavin
Sheets.
Nick Pratto's sacrifice fly in the ninth drew the Royals within
3-2.
The Royals won the first game 4-2 behind a stellar pitching
performance from Brady Singer and a pair of two-run home runs by
Pasquantino and Pratto.
