Kansas City Loss Diminishes Wallace Performance
Kansas City third baseman Cayden Wallace was sensational. He hit 2 home runs. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice. But it wasn't enough to rally his team to a win. Chicago beat the Royals, 9-8. Jonathan Stiever got credit for the win, improving to 4-1. He allowed 3 runs on 8 hits in 5 innings. The Royals fall to 9-18 and continue their unimpressive start to the 2027 season.

With no one out in the top of the eighth, Austin Meadows had a game-changing hit. The White Sox right fielder slammed a run-scoring single off Cody Morris, making the score 9-7, Chicago.

"I like to lead by example," said Meadows. "I'm glad I could contribute to a good win."
