White Sox Lose Despite Martinez's Valiant Effort
The inspired effort of Chicago designated hitter J.D. Martinez was not enough to prevent a 8-7 loss to the Kansas City Royals. Martinez slugged 2 home runs. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3. Carl Edwards Jr. earned his 13th save in 14 chances. Kansas City now owns a record of 40-54.

A crucial at-bat came with runners on 1st and 2nd and one out in the top of the seventh inning. That's when second baseman Jurickson Profar drew a walk. The Royals went on to win.

"Winning is all that really matters and we got it done today," Profar told the Kansas City Today.
