The Sox opened the homestand by losing two out of three vs. American League Central division champion Kansas City.

TONIGHT S STORYLINES Chris Sale (currently 267) needs three strikeouts to set a new White Sox single-season record... Ed Walsh s 107-year old club record of 269 strikeouts set in 1908 is the longest standing mark among existing franchises in the modern era (since 1901). Chicago starters have allowed three runs or less 13 times over the last 15 games, including two or less in 10 contests. The White Sox have scored a total of 40 runs (2.7) over the last 15 games, including three runs or less 10 times. Sale owns a 4.88 ERA (13 ER/24.0 IP) and.304 opp. average (31-102) during his career-high tying, four-game losing streak. Adam Eaton is hitting.354 (29-82) with three doubles, one triple, two homers, 11 RBI, nine walks, two HBP, 14 runs scored and a.918 OPS during his current 20-game on-base streak. LAST NIGHT S RECAP Kansas City scored one run in the first inning, three in the third and two in the fi fth en route to a 6-4 win over Chicago. Jose Abreu hit a two RBI single in the seventh to cut the deficit to 6-4, but the Sox were held scoreless over the fi nal two frames Abreu reached 100 RBI for the second straight season. John Danks (6 ER/5.0 IP) suffered the loss in his fi nal start and fi nished the season with a 7-15 record three White Sox relievers combined to allow just two hits over 4.0 scoreless IP. Adam Eaton (1-4) extended his on-base streak to 20 games Trayce Thompson went 2-4 with a RBI. HISTORY!
