In a recent MLB game, the Kansas City Royals demonstrated a strong performance against the Chicago White Sox, ultimately winning the game with a significant lead. The Royals capitalized on their opportunities, notably in the seventh inning where they scored eight runs, extending their lead to KC 5, White Sox 1. Key players for the Royals included MJ Melendez, who hit a solo homer in the fourth inning and later added a two-run blast, contributing significantly to the team's victory. Michael Soroka, pitching for the White Sox, delivered a commendable performance with six innings of two-run ball, allowing six hits and no walks, and striking out two. However, the White Sox struggled offensively, hitting into four double plays and trailing throughout the game. The final score highlighted the Royals' dominance and the White Sox's challenges in finding their rhythm this season.
MJ Melendez rubs salt on the wound with a two-run blast! https://t.co/TCKbCVGQ2m
It's only been a week, but the Royals have outscored their opponents 34 to 21 this season, and only seven of 61 innings have come against the White Sox.
The @Royals are making some noise with an 8-run 7th! https://t.co/V5C6Lm5ogK
So, like, the Kansas City Royals
With hindsight, the White Sox plan to build their team this season with leftovers from the 2017 Royals may have been poorly conceived. Also, with foresight.

Royals have a good ol' time in the seventh against Deivi Garcia, who has allowed three runs on two walks and three hits and is out of the game in favor of Dominic Leone. KC 5, White Sox 1
Deivi García walked back-to-back hitters with one out in the bottom of the seventh, then a base hit loaded the bases. A drive to right dropped for a hit, bringing two runs home. Sox trail 4-1.
Michael Soroka pitched six innings of two-run ball, allowing six hits and no walks while striking out two. MJ Melendez hit a solo homer in the fourth. He exited trailing 2-1.
That's four double plays for the Royals. This time, Gavin Sheets is thrown out rather easily at home on a short fly to right fielder Hunter Renfroe. Sox get a run on Vaughn RBI single scoring Moncada, trail 2-1.
Royals go double, single against Soroka with one out in the second, and the Sox trail 1-0.
Sox put two on in the first two innings (Yoán Moncada beat out an infield single, and Gavin Sheets walked), but they’ve also hit into a pair of double plays and have sent the minimum to the plate.
