Royals Win Four-Series Streak, Target Boston in Key MLB Race

The Kansas City Royals are enjoying a hot streak with a four-series winning run, highlighted by Salvador Perez achieving a franchise record with his ninth 20-homer season. Improved bullpen performances and recent acquisitions have boosted the team's playoff hopes, as they prepare for a key series against the Boston Red Sox. Meanwhile, the Chicago White Sox have emerged as the best hitting team since the All-Star break, posting an OPS of .861, nearly matching the legendary 1927 Yankees' lineup, providing fans with optimism despite their losing record. Additionally, Dick Allen's recent Hall of Fame induction brings attention to the 35 players with ties to the White Sox who have been inducted, with Andruw Jones appearing as a strong future candidate. Outside of professional play, the Rushford community hosted an adaptive Challenger Baseball game for special children, emphasizing the inclusive and supportive spirit of baseball. These developments reflect both competitive excitement and community engagement within the baseball world.
