Royals Drop White Sox, 8-7
Kauffman Stadium played host to some exciting baseball.

The Kansas City Royals beat the Chicago White Sox, 8-7, in part because of shortstop Ismaldo Rodriguez. He was 4-6 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 3 and driving in 2. Kansas City pitcher Kevin Martin earned the win, hiking his record to 10-13. Tyler Kolek suffered the loss.

The Royals got a clutch hit from second baseman Cliff Jones. In the bottom of the 12th, he delivered a run-scoring single to win the game for the Royals.

"Nothing is scripted in this game," said Rodriguez.

After today's action, Kansas City sits at 69-90, while Chicago falls to 79-80.
