[May 13, 2026]
CHICAGO (AP) — Pinch-hitter Derek Hill homered to break an eighth-inning
tie after Chicago wasted a three-run lead, and the White Sox beat the
Kansas City Royals 6-5 on Tuesday night for their third straight win.
Drew Romo hit a solo homer just over the outstretched glove of right
fielder Jac Caglianone and Chase Meidroth had a three-run drive off
Stephen Kolek in a five-run fifth that built a 5-2 advantage. |

Kansas City tied the score in the sixth when Nick Loftin hit an
RBI double against Tyler Schweitzer and scored on Maikel
Garcia's single off Grant Taylor.
Hill batted for Tristan Peters, and drove a low slider from Matt
Strahm (1-1) to left-center, a 417-foot drive for his third
career pinch homer and second this season. Hill had a tying
homer in a May 3 loss to San Diego.
Seranthony Domínguez (3-3) pitched a perfect eighth, and Bryan
Hudson got three straight outs for his second save.
Chicago has come from behind in nine of its 20 wins. Kansas City
has lost four of six following a five-game winning streak.
Bobby Witt Jr. and Salvador Perez hit solo home runs in the
first inning against Erick Fedde, who has allowed 10 homers in
six starts and two relief appearances this season.
Up next
Royals RHP Seth Lugo (1-2, 3.21) and White Sox LHP Noah Schultz
(2-2, 4.68) start Wednesday.
