Yermin Mercedes and Jose Abreu had three RBI’s each to help the Chicago White Sox beat Kansas City 9-3 on Sunday, finishing off a three-game sweep and handing the Royals their eighth consecutive loss.
The Royals went winless on its seven-game homestand.
Whit Merrifield doubled and eventually scored two batters later in the first inning. It was a promising start, but they didn’t lead again after that point.
Mike Minor (2-2) got the loss and went five innings giving up five earned runs, five hits, two walks and struck out seven.
Kansas City starts a seven-game road trip beginning in Detroit on Tuesday.
