Royals walk off with 3-2 win in 14 innings

Cain delivered a two-out, RBI single in the 14th inning as the Kansas City Royals edged by the Chicago White Sox 3-2 Wednesday night. Pretty much everyone had something to say about that heat and humidity, including Kendrys Morales. He gave up the tying RBI single in the ninth to Alcides Escobar before Frazier saved the day.

The White Sox chased Kennedy in the seventh after Omar Narvaez walked and Tyler Saladino singled with one out. “We’re not telling him something he doesn’t feel”.

Dashed hope: In the 11th inning, the White Sox offense finally got going.

Lorenzo Cain’s night was not going the way he wanted. Quintana held the Royals scoreless through seven innings, allowing only three hits, despite some botched double plays by his defense. Trailing 1-0 in the eighth, Paulo Orlando doubled with one out to chase Chicago’s starting pitcher Jose Quintana.

Abreu also had one of five straight two-out singles in the fifth against Edinson Volquez. “So it’s my fault”. Jones promptly surrendered a double to rookie Cheslor Cuthbert to tie the game at 1.

Abreu, who is from Cuba, visited his 5-year-old son Dariel on the off-day Monday in Miami in his first time on United States soil.

“It’s frustrating”, Robertson said. “At home, when I woke up, it started hurting a lot”. No White Sox player ever led the AL in homers.

White Sox: OF-DH Avisail Garcia was placed on the disabled list with a sprained right knee. The White Sox have allowed 18 runs in their last three games and five or more runs in six of their last 10 games. “He was very impressed with his fastball command and had a very good changeup with a lot of life”, Royals manager Ned Yost said of Moore’s scouting report.

When you’re dog exhausted and just want to go home it’s fairly tedious to play small ball – get a runner on, move him over and then drive him in – but quite often that’s just what you have to do.

The Royals have scored a total of nine runs while Kennedy was on the mound in his past eight starts.
