It took two hours to get started, and it didn’t end until after 12:30 am, but the Royals beat the White Sox, 7-2, to open a three-game set.
Carlos Hernandez continued his recent trend of being a stud, firing six innings of two-run baseball. He allowed just two runs, both in his last inning of work after the Royals had built a 7-0 lead. This game started almost two hours after its scheduled time due to rain in the area, but Hernandez was very sharp, particularly early on. He’s been really, really good this year. It’s always nice when these things happen in a positive way.
