White Sox Edge Royals, 5-4, to Open WC
Kansas City designated hitter Rafael Devers pounded Chicago White Sox pitchers at Kauffman Stadium, but it was not enough to keep the Royals from falling, 5-4, in Game 1 of the Wild Card Game. Devers went 3-5 with 2 home runs. He scored 3 runs and drove in 2, though he couldn't keep the Royals from slipping to a 1-0 deficit in the best-of-3 series.

Chicago used the timely hitting of Carlos Correa to seize the win. The shortstop stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the White Sox on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

Chicago manager Bobby G called it "a darn good win."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City.
