Royals Win, 4-2, Versus Chicago
The Kansas City Royals picked up a win at Kauffman Stadium, knocking off the Chicago White Sox, 4-2. Starting pitcher Alek Manoah was a big reason why. Jhoan Duran got credit for the save for Kansas City. It was his 11th of the year. Kansas City is now 17-22, while Chicago is 16-22.

Kansas City took a 4-2 lead on Jackson Merrill's 8th home run of the season. The 3-run home run, which Merrill hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Chicago pitcher Nick Mears visibly frustrated.

"When Alek is on, he can really move the ball around," said Kansas City manager Jim H.
