Summary
Jacob Gonzalez lined a ninth-inning single past Bobby Witt Jr. to score Colson Montgomery and give Chicago a 2-1 walk-off win before 28,569 at Rate Field.
The rally built after Colson Montgomery and Chase Meidroth singled, then Braden Montgomery’s bunt forced a Royals misplay when Daniel Lynch IV’s throw struck Nick Loftin and loaded the bases.
Davis Martin kept Kansas City quiet for 5 1/3 scoreless innings, and Grant Taylor closed with two dominant innings, throwing 18 strikes in 19 pitches and fanning four.
Chicago had tied it 1-1 in the seventh after Carter Jensen’s bases-loaded single put the Royals ahead, with Braden Montgomery’s throw to the plate limiting further damage.
The White Sox improved to 43-38 and secured a franchise-record 10th straight home series victory on a day the club honored its 1983 division champions.
