Yolmer Sanchez’ RBI single in the ninth inning lifts White Sox past Royals.
Yolmer Sanchez singled to center field with the bases loaded, scoring James McCann from third base to give the White Sox a 2-1 victory over the Royals Tuesday at Guaranteed Rate Field.
The teams had resumed play of a game suspended Monday due to unplayable conditions following two rain delays.
It restarted at 4:40 p.m., with about 100 fans in the stands, and Sanchez standing on second with two outs in the fifth inning. He was left there when Ryan Cordell struck out, but a day later, Sanchez finished it off.
Alex Colome (2-0) pitched a perfect ninth for the win. Aaron Bummer (two innings) and Evan Marchall (one) also pitched scoreless relief.
Sanchez’ hit came against Kevin McCarthy, who hit Yonder Alonso with a pitch and allowed a double to McCann to open the ninth. The Royals defended Sanchez’ at-bat with five infielders and two outfielders.
The Sox and Royals play the scheduled game Tuesday at 6:40 p.m.
