The White Sox' five-game losing streak is over.
— Lance Lynn pitched four-hit ball through seven innings, Elvis Andrus hit a tiebreaking home run in the fifth and the Chicago White Sox beat the Kansas City Royals 4-2 Wednesday night to snap a five-game losing streak.
"After the last out, he always says, 'twenty-seven outs,'"Cairo said."'And until that last out, you cannot feel comfortable until they get that last out.'The Royals lost for the third time in five games. Rookie Bobby Witt hit his 19th home run off Lynn in the fourth, a shot to center that traveled an estimated 441 feet.
"Obviously everybody is a little down when you lose your manager," Lynn said."You hope that everything is good and everything checks out good. He has some stuff he has to take care of, and we have to do our part to stay in this race." Bubic walked three of the first seven batters he faced, but was undone by the homers. Andrus hit his home run two pitches after missing a pitch on a hit-and-run play that resulted in Romy Gonzalez getting thrown out at second.
