Chicago White Sox stadium erupts as the home team drops 22 runs on the Kansas City Royals. Wild night on the South Side!
Hold on to your baseball caps, Jacob — the Chicago White Sox went absolutely NUCLEAR on Friday night, absolutely torching the Kansas City Royals by a jaw-dropping final score of 22–1. That is not a typo. Twenty. Two. Runs. The White Sox batted around the lineup multiple times and made the Royals' pitching staff look like they were throwing batting practice at the park.
Leading the charge was J. Gonzalez, who put together one of the individual stat lines of the season: 3-for-4 at the plate with a home run, a double, 5 RBIs, 3 runs scored, and a walk. That's the kind of game that ends up in the record books! With this monster win, the White Sox move to 42–38 on the season, sitting in first place in the AL Central — just one game ahead of the Guardians.
And Friday's baseball action didn't stop there. The Detroit Tigers blanked the Houston Astros 8–0, with J. Outman going deep for a home run and driving in 3 runs. Over in Boston, pitcher P. Tolle was nearly unhittable — going 7.0 innings, allowing ZERO earned runs, giving up just 1 hit and striking out 7 in a 6–1 Red Sox win over the Yankees. Fifteen MLB games were played on Friday, so let's break them all down below!
A massive 15-game Friday slate served up everything: blowouts, pitcher's duels, an extra-inning thriller, and a shutout. Here are all the final scores from around the diamond:
