The Kansas City Royals beat the Chicago White Sox by a score of 7-5. Kansas City second baseman Marek Houston deserved the lion's share of the credit. Houston went 2 for 4 with a home run and was hit by a pitch. He scored 2 times and drove in 2 for the Royals. Chase Shores, the winner, is now 5-5. He struck out 5 and walked 3 over 5 innings, while allowing 4 runs on 6 hits. Kansas City has won 5 straight games.

Kansas City used the timely hitting of Kevin Parada to capture the win. The catcher socked a 3-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Royals ahead, 7-4. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a big one.

"It all comes down to competing and our guys love to compete," said Royals manager Patrick Ochs.
