White Sox Double Up Royals

In a game heard on WHOW, Andrew Vaughn's two-run homer in the sixth inning broke a 1-1 tie and lifted the Chicago White Sox to a 4-2 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday night.

 

Lucas Giolito (2-2) allowed two runs on five hits over six innings in a game that started two hours late because of rain.

 

Kendall Graveman worked the ninth for his first save. He said the delay played into his hands.

 

Jordan Lyles (0-6) threw a complete game, the first by a Royals pitcher in more than two years, allowing four runs on six hits with no walks. Brad Keller was the last Kansas City starter to go the distance, in his 11-0 shutout of Pittsburgh on Sept. 13, 2020.

 

Vinnie Pasquantino homered in the first and drove in both of the Royals' runs.

 

Seby Zavala had a two-out RBI single in the seventh for Chicago.

 

Luis Robert made it 1-1 in the fourth when he lined the first pitch from Lyles 430 feet into the bullpen in left. It was the first baserunner Lyles allowed.

 

Chicago RHP Lance Lynn (1-4, 6.68 ERA) faces Kansas City’s Brad Keller (2-3, 4.67) in the third game of the four-game series.
