White Sox Ace Sale Tagged By Royals In 6-2 Loss

Lorenzo Cain hit a three-run homer, Nori Aoki kept up his tear at the plate and the Royals roughed up Sale in a 6-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox. "The only pennant race I would look forward to is the one we would be in," said Sale, who gave up a season-high five earned runs in five innings. Yordano Ventura (13-10) allowed three hits and two walks over seven innings, the lone run off him coming on a sacrifice fly. The White Sox loaded the bases with nobody out in the third inning, and Adam Eaton staked them to a lead with his sacrifice fly. [...] Ventura calmly struck out the next two batters to get out of trouble, and then kept Chicago guessing with a blazing fastball all night. In the bottom of the third, Escobar and Aoki hit back-to-back singles before Cain sent a pitch over the left-field wall. The three-run homer was the first allowed by Sale on an 0-2 count in his career — 164 appearances and nearly 670 batters over parts of five seasons. White Sox DH-1B Paul Konerko, who is retiring after the season, was honored by the Royals before the game with a number of mementos, including a chair from the 2012 All-Star game played at Kauffman Stadium.
