White Sox Win, Blackmon goes 4-for-4
The Chicago White Sox defeated the Kansas City Royals, 13-4, at Guaranteed Rate Field. Chicago center fielder Charlie Blackmon was named player of the game for his superb performance. He went 4-4 with 4 doubles and was hit by a pitch. He drove in 5 runs and scored once. Ross Stripling picked up the win with 5 innings of work. He allowed 3 earned runs on 5 hits, while walking 0 and striking out 5. On the season, he is now 12-7. Colby Lewis converted his 1st save in 1 tries.

Michael Brantley had a big run-scoring single for the White Sox in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Chicago leading 3-2 and the bases loaded, he got a fastball from Chris Sale and stroked the single to center. It was his 147th hit of the season, and more importantly, it put the White Sox ahead, 4-2.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Brantley.

Chicago is now 66-57, 6½ games up in the American League Central Division.
