A homer by Deron Johnson with two men on base climaxed a six-run explosion in the fifth inning and enabled the White Sox to defeat the Royals, 6-5. Singles by Nyls Nyman, Mike Squires, Bucky Dent, Pat Kelly and Jerry Hairston produced the first three runs before Johnson whacked his round-tripper with two out. The defeat dropped the Royals eight games behind the Athletics in the West Division race.
