The Royals, who scored 16 runs in one game and 12 in each of four others previously this season, received a dose of their own medicine and absorbed a 16-2 trouncing at the hands of the White Sox. Bill Melton led the White Sox attack, driving in five runs with a single in the first inning, a homer in the second and double in the sixth.
