Royals 5, White Sox 4: Trading fours, then resting

After rallying to erase a 4-0 lead with one big wave in the third, Chase Meidroth had a golden opportunity to put the White Sox in front for the first time all night when he stood at the plate with a bases loaded and worked a 3-0 count against Seth Lugo. Lugo got back into the count with a sinker up and in for strike one. He then threw a sinker even more up and even more in, and had Meidroth not moved, it might have hit him. But Meidroth moved. In fact, he swung for some reason, and popped...

Game Thread: White Sox (81-76) at Royals (67-90)

The White Sox have never had a bench player quite like Randal Grichuk

Not to say that Randal Grichuk has conditioned White Sox fans to expect great things when he's at the plate, but his 4-for-5 night against the Royals on Tuesday was somehow slightly diminished by knowing how close he came to hitting for the cycle. He just needed his slicing drive in the seventh inning to elude Kyle Isbel's diving attempt in center field, but Isbel was able to knock it down and limit Grichuk to his second double of the night. "I was just hoping it got down and saw him leavi...
