A single by Wohlford in the ninth inning scored Frank White from second base and gave the Royals a 3-2 victory over the White Sox, who lost for only the second time in their last 13 games. The Royals counted their initial pair in the first on a triple by George Brett, sacrifice fly by Hal McRae and John Mayberry's fourth homer in four games.
