The game saw the lead change hands several times, with the Royals rallying from an early deficit before a late White Sox run decided the outcome.<\/p>\n<h2>Why it matters<\/h2>\n<p>The loss drops the Royals to 7-9 on the season, making it an uphill battle to climb back into contention in the AL Central. Meanwhile, the White Sox maintain their position in the division race with the series split.<\/p>\n<h2>The details<\/h2>\n<p>After a lengthy rain delay, the White Sox struck first with a two-run homer by Tanner Murray in the second inning. The Royals then took advantage of Chicago&#8217;s bullpen, scoring four runs in the third to take the lead. But the White Sox regained the advantage in the fourth on a two-run shot by Colson Montgomery. The Royals tied it in the bottom half, only to fall behind again on a bases-loaded walk in the sixth. In the seventh, a wild pitch by John Schreiber allowed the decisive run to score for the White Sox.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The game was played on Sunday, April 12, 2026.<\/li>\n<li>The wild pitch that proved decisive occurred in the seventh inning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"news-callout-box\">\n<h2>The players<\/h2>\n<div class=\"news-callout-item\">\n<h3>John Schreiber<\/h3>\n<p>The Royals pitcher who surrendered the game-deciding wild pitch in the seventh inning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"news-callout-item\">\n<h3>Dustin Harris<\/h3>\n<p>The White Sox player who scored the winning run on Schreiber&#8217;s wild pitch in the seventh.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"news-callout-item\">\n<h3>Tanner Murray<\/h3>\n<p>The White Sox player who hit a two-run homer in the second inning to open the scoring.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"news-callout-item\">\n<h3>Colson Montgomery<\/h3>\n<p>The White Sox player who hit a two-run homer in the fourth inning to give Chicago the lead.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"news-callout-item\">\n<h3>Noah Cameron<\/h3>\n<p>The Royals starting pitcher, who allowed five earned runs over 5.1 innings in the no-decision.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/forms.nationaltoday.com\/news?location=Chicago%2C+IL&amp;city=Chicago&amp;type=Upload+Story+Photos&amp;headline=Wild+Pitch+Dooms+Royals+in+7-6+Loss+to+White+Sox&amp;page=https%3A%2F%2Fnationaltoday.com%2Fus%2Fil%2Fchicago%2Fnews%2F2026%2F04%2F13%2Fwild-pitch-dooms-royals-in-7-6-loss-to-white-sox%2F\" class=\"submission-link\" target=\"_blank\"><span><span>Got photos?<\/span> Submit your photos here. \u203a<\/span><\/a>        <\/div>\n<h2>What they\u2019re saying<\/h2>\n<div class=\"news-quotes\">\n<div class=\"news-quote\">\n<p class=\"news-quote-quote\">\u201cWe had our chances, but that wild pitch in the seventh was the difference.
