Royals Lose at Home, 7-2
Chicago right-hander Rocky Thompson pitched his team to victory over the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium. The final score was 7-2. The Royals fall to 6-8 and continue their lackluster start in 2026.

Chicago used a well-timed hit by António García to capture the win. The left fielder socked a 2-run double in the top of the fifth inning to put the White Sox ahead, 4-0. Though it was his only hit in 5 at-bats, it was important.

"Rocky pitched like a champ," said Chicago manager Morgan Ensberg.
