White Sox Drop 10th Straight Game at Royals' Kauffman Stadium, Match Franchise's Second-Worst Start

The Chicago White Sox have struggled offensively during their recent series against the Kansas City Royals, suffering a 10-0 loss and a 2-1 defeat that extended their losing streak at Kauffman Stadium to 11 games. Despite solid pitching performances, notably from Jonathan Cannon who delivered multiple quality starts including six shutout innings in the 2-1 loss, the White Sox lineup repeatedly failed to capitalize on scoring opportunities, going a combined 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position in key moments. The Royals' Bobby Witt Jr. was a significant contributor to Kansas City's victories, hitting crucial home runs and making impactful defensive plays. Injuries, such as Andrew Benintendi’s calf strain, and missed baserunning chances further hampered the White Sox’s efforts. Manager Will Venable acknowledged the team's offensive struggles and emphasized the need for better execution and situational awareness to convert chances into runs. Despite some late-inning rallies, the White Sox offense remains stymied, overshadowing strong individual pitching performances and resulting in continued losses against the Royals.
