Royals Top White Sox 8-5 in Eighth-Inning Rally

Bobby Witt Jr. led the Kansas City Royals to an 8-5 victory over the Chicago White Sox with a grand slam during a six-run rally in the eighth inning. Witt's performance included four hits, extending his hitting streak to 11 games and raising his batting average to a league-leading .347. The win marked the White Sox's franchise-record 15th consecutive loss, leaving them with a dismal 27-82 record, the worst in Major League Baseball. Kansas City initially trailed 5-2 before their comeback, aided by solo home runs from Hunter Renfroe and MJ Melendez. Despite a strong start from White Sox pitcher Chris Flexen, the bullpen faltered, allowing the Royals to capitalize late in the game. With this victory, Kansas City improved to 58-49 and remains in contention for the final AL Wild Card spot.
