KANSAS CITY \u2014 John Rave homered playing in place of the ailing Vinnie Pasquantino and the Kansas City Royals beat Chicago White Sox 6-2 on Saturday night to move above .500 for the first time since June 10.<\/p>\n
Pasquantino left after the first inning because of heat-related illness. The game-time temperature was 94 degrees, with the humidity above 50 percent. Nick Loftin moved to first base, and Rave took over for Loftin in left.<\/p>\n
The Royals drafted Pasquantino in 2019. He leads the team with 80 RBI, is tied for the team lead with 22 home runs and is hitting .259.<\/p>\n
Rave\u2019s homer came in his first at-bat.<\/p>\n
Michael Lorenzen made his first start for Kansas City since July 6. He allowed three hits in four scoreless innings. Daniel Lynch IV (5-2) was the winner.<\/p>\n
Mike Yastrzemski led off the first with a homer off Sean Burke (4-10). The Royals added an unearned run in the second, and Rave made it 3-0 in the third with his fourth home.<\/p>\n
In the fifth, Rave singled and scored on Maikel Garcia\u2019s two-run double. Loftin had an RBI single in the sixth.<\/p>\n
Andrew Benintendi doubled in two runs for Chicago in the eighth.<\/p>\n
The Royals (62-61) had lost in their last five chances to move above .500.<\/p>\n
Chicago RHP Davis Martin (4-9, 4.17 ERA) was set to start opposite RHP Ryan Bergert (1-1, 2.87) this afternoon in the series finale.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
