First Inning


The game began with an explosive start from the South Siders. The White Sox quickly took control by scoring 3 runs on 4 hits in the first inning. The Royals struggled to find their rhythm early on, unable to register any hits or runs against a determined Chicago defense.


Fourth Inning


As the game progressed into the fourth inning, K.C.'s pitching faltered again. The Boys in Blue allowed another surge from their opponents, conceding an additional 3 runs on 3 hits. Despite efforts from players like Bobby Witt Jr., who maintained solid fielding throughout, Kansas City's offense remained quiet.


Seventh Inning


In contrast, Chicago continued their offensive momentum into the seventh inning with another run added to their tally. Meanwhile, Vinnie Pasquantino and his teammates were unable to break through against a strong performance by Chicago's pitchers.


Final Innings


By the end of nine innings, Kansas City had only managed two hits and no runs—a testament to both effective pitching by Chicago and missed opportunities for K.C.'s lineup. Sam Long's relief pitching provided some stability for Kansas City but was not enough to turn things around.
