White Sox Paddle Royals, 12-2
Eager fans turned out for a matchup between the Chicago White Sox and Kansas City Royals.

Boosted by the 3-hit performance of Joe Reese, who finished 5th in the AL in slugging percentage with .545 in 2103, the Chicago White Sox defeated the Kansas City Royals, 12-2. The Royals, now 4-9, continue their sluggish start.

With Chicago leading 4-2 in the top of the fifth, Reese came up to bat against Kansas City pitcher Hugo Coates. Reese hit a sinker to right-center for a grand slam home run. His 4th home run of the season put the White Sox on top, 8-2.

Kansas City manager Connor Gould called the blowout loss "a real bummer."
