Dustin Harris roped a pinch-hit double and scored the go-ahead run on a wild pitch in the seventh inning, then made a late potential home run-robbing catch, as the visiting White Sox won 6-5 against the Kansas City Royals on Sunday afternoon at Kauffman Stadium.<\/p>\n
Tanner Murray and Colson Montgomery each hit two-run homers and the White Sox used nine pitchers to win a contest that started after a three-hour rain delay and salvaged their split of this four-game set.<\/p>\n
With the score tied at 5, the little-used Harris opened the seventh with a double, and eventually scored from third base via a wild pitch by John Schreiber (0-2). Then in the eighth, Kansas City\u2019s Michael Massy sent a Lucas Sims pitch deep to right field, but Harris reached up and snagged the ball at the top of the wall.<\/p>\n
Carter Jensen and Isaac Collins each had two hits with an RBI for Kansas City, which won the previous two games by 2-0 scores.<\/p>\n
Chicago snapped a 21-inning scoreless rut in the second. After Royals starter Noah Cameron posted two strikeouts, Montgomery doubled and Murray sent a drive that drifted over the left-field wall for his first career homer.<\/p>\n
Grant Taylor of the White Sox retired all six batters during the first two innings in his fourth 2026 opener appearance. However, Sean Newcomb started the third, where he allowed a one-out single to Collins, then loaded the bases with back-to-back walks.<\/p>\n
Jonathan Cannon then entered for his 2026 debut and allowed the Royals to tie it with three consecutive walks before leaving with right hip irritation. Brandon Eisert entered, and Kansas City went ahead 3-2 via Jensen\u2019s RBI infield squibber.<\/p>\n
The White Sox regained the lead in the fourth. With two out and a man on, Montgomery sent a Cameron pitch just inside the right-field pole for a 4-3 edge.<\/p>\n
But, Kansas City went back up via RBI singles from Collins and Bobby Witt Jr. in the bottom of the fourth.<\/p>\n
Cameron exited after 5 1\/3 innings, yielding six hits and five runs \u2014 the last coming when Nick Mears walked ex-Royal Andrew Benintendi with the bases loaded in the sixth to tie it at 5.<\/p>\n
Jordan Leasure (1-0) worked 1 1\/3 scoreless innings for the win.<\/p>\n
