Yet, the Royals found a way. KC bested the White Sox bullpen with a 4-3 comeback victory at Kauffman Stadium. It took a little luck. Burke allowed one run across 6 1/3 innings. Royals outfielder Kyle Isbel drilled a solo home run in the sixth inning to cut into a two-run deficit.

Bobby Witt Jr. hit a two-run homer to give Michael Wacha all the support he needed as the Kansas City Royals defeated the Chicago White Sox 2-1

The White Sox spent the first three games at Kauffman Stadium a play or two away from earning hard-fought road wins against a playoff contender. Thursday’s finale did not follow that same pattern.
