The White Sox built a 5-0 lead with a pair of second-inning long
balls. Yoan Moncada's two-run shot to deep center opened the
scoring. Korey Lee later smacked his first big league homer, a
three-run blast over the left-field bullpen, to snap an 0-for-23

increased Chicago's lead to 6-0. Vaughn had three of Chicago's
13 hits.
The White Sox pounded Brady Singer for six runs on nine hits and
a walk over five innings.

runs. In 5 1/3 innings, he allowed five runs (four earned) on
eight hits and two walks with seven strikeouts.
MJ Melendez's two-out RBI single in the third got the Royals on
the board before three solo home runs cut their deficit to 6-4.
Nelson Velazquez went deep leading off the fourth for his eighth
homer in 22 games with Kansas City. It was his 11th home run of
the season.
With two outs in the inning, Chicago-area native Michael Massey
added a solo shot of his own. Massey is a career .389
(21-for-54) hitter with four home runs against the White Sox.
Melendez added a two-out homer in the fifth.
The Royals won consecutive games for the first time since Aug.
3-4.
Sidelined since Saturday with right quad cramping, Luis Robert
