Royals Beaten By White Sox, 7-2
Chicago White Sox starter Charlie Morton pitched his team past the Kansas City Royals, 7-2. The win puts Chicago at 4-4.

Chicago used a clutch at-bat from Jose Garcia to capture the win. The right fielder hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the White Sox ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," Morton told the Chicago Gazette.
