The Kansas City Royals swept the Chicago White Sox on Sunday as right-hander Seth Lugo moved to the top of team history in this All-Star season.
The Kansas City Royals beat the Chicago White Sox 4-1 on Sunday afternoon to earn a sweep of their divisional foes this weekend.
With the wins, the Royals are now 55-45 on the season and they've moved back into the third wild card spot in the American League. They are 1.0 game up on the Boston Red Sox for that last spot. They are 2.5 games up on the Seattle Mariners as they seek their first playoff appearance since 2015. In the win, Royals right-hander Seth Lugo dominated once again on the mound. The All-Star threw a complete game, allowing just one run on three hits. He walked none and struck out six in moving to 12-4 on the year with a 2.38 ERA.
That ERA has put him at the top of a very impressive list in team history, according to @StatsCentre:The 34-year-old Lugo, who signed with Kansas City in the offseason, has been the anchor of the team's rotation. He's struck out 122 batters in 136.0 innings and has brought stability to a group that went 56-106 a season ago.
