The Chicago White Sox defeated the Kansas City Royals by the score of 5-3. Leody Taveras starred for Chicago, going 3-for-4 with 1 home run. The 4th-place White Sox improved to 60-63.

The Royals had been locked in a 3-3 tie with the White Sox going into the bottom of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the 26-year old second baseman Jordan Sprinkle came to the plate. Sprinkle hit a 2-run home run on a 3-1 sinker from Kansas City hurler Logan Webb. It was Sprinkle's 14th home run of the year.

Sprinkle attributed the win to his team's "determination."
