The Kansas City Royals let too many scoring chances pass by without making a significant dent in the scoring column. Meanwhile, the Chicago White Sox cashed in their chances and sent the Royals to the next stop on their road trip with a sour taste in their mouths.
With right-hander Daniel Mengden making the spot start on the mound, the Royals scored just one run in a 7-1 loss to the White Sox in front of an announced 15,257 in the finale of the tree-game series on Thursday afternoon at Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago.
The Royals (53-79) have now lost two of their last three games to start the road trip. They’ll begin a three-game series in Detroit on Friday night.
