Winker, Royals Rough Up White Sox
A 4-RBI performance from Jesse Winker, who is on pace for 202 hits this season, helped the Kansas City Royals beat the Chicago White Sox, 12-3. Dereck Rodriguez picked up the win, improving his season record to 10-11. He struck out 4 in 6 innings. Jacob Nix notched his 1st save in 5 chances.

Winker contributed a big hit, a 3-run home run, for Kansas City in the top of the fifth. With his team trailing 3-2, Winker took a fastball from Ross Stripling and stroked the home run to right. His 13th home run of the season allowed the Royals to leap in front, 5-3.

"We maximized our offense today," said Kansas City skipper Bryce Shuck. "That makes everyone's life easier."

Kansas City currently is in second place in the American League Central Division at 80-67.
