The Kansas City Royals secured a narrow 2-1 victory against the Chicago White Sox at Kauffman Stadium, largely due to strong pitching and a pivotal home run. After a slow start characterized by missed scoring opportunities, Bobby Witt Jr. delivered the decisive blow with a homer in the fifth inning, bringing the Royals to a 2-0 lead. Starting pitcher Michael Wacha dominated on the mound, limiting the White Sox offense with just one run allowed through seven innings, showcasing the Royals' strong performance on both pitching and timely hitting.
Both teams had an opportunity to do damage, with Kansas City putting runners on the corners with one out in the first and Chicago doing the same with two outs.
It seemed like another opportunity to score might fizzle after Garcia grounded out, but Witt came through. On 1-0, he pulled his hands in on a sinker, yanking it out to left.
