Jacob Gonzalez delivered a walk-off single with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning, securing a victory for the Chicago White Sox over the Kansas City Royals and extending Chicago’s franchise record to 10 consecutive home series wins. The game, played on June 28 at Guaranteed Rate Field, marked the White Sox’s fourth win in five games during their six-game homestand.
The decisive rally began against Royals reliever Daniel Lynch IV, who faced three consecutive singles from Colson Montgomery, Chase Meidroth, and Braden Montgomery. With a five-man infield positioned against Gonzalez, he connected on a 3-2 fastball from Kansas City’s John Schreiber and lined a single past shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. to bring in the winning run.
Grant Taylor earned the victory, pitching two flawless innings while striking out four batters. The Royals’ offense was limited to six hits overall despite Michael Massey’s notable performance, who went 2-for-2 with a walk. The game featured a pitching duel between White Sox ace Davis Martin and Royals starter Michael Wacha, following a high-scoring contest for Chicago the previous night.
This win solidifies Chicago’s first-place standing as the team continues to build momentum at home with a franchise-best streak of home series victories.
