Chen gets win as Royals beat White Sox
CHICAGO – The Kansas City Royals wanted Bruce Chen to show more aggression. He finally did.
Chen outpitched Jake Peavy for his first win in six weeks, Billy Butler hit his career-high 22nd homer and the Royals beat the Chicago White Sox 5-2 on Tuesday night.
The White Sox had won 10 of 13, but saw their lead over Detroit in the AL Central shrink to a half game when the Tigers beat the New York Yankees 6-5 earlier in the night.
