The White Sox won a doubleheader from the Royals, 4-3 and 5-4, enabling the rained-out Athletics to draw to four games behind division-leading Kaycee in the American League West. Kevin Bell's sacrifice fly in the eighth inning produced the winning run in the opener and Jim Spencer's three-run homer in the eighth decided the nightcap.
