"Firmly in contention for an American League wild-card spot, Kansas City swept a three-game set from the visiting White Sox from Aug. 15-17 and is 8-2 against its division foe this season. The Royals trail Seattle by three games for the final AL wild-card berth. Kansas City kept pace by avoiding a series sweep with a 10-8 win over Detroit on Sunday."
""It's a big-vibes win there," Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino said. "Good to get back in the win column." Every starter had at least one hit and scored a run for the Royals on Sunday. The varied attack helped them build a 6-1 lead after three innings and remain resilient after the Tigers surged ahead 7-6 after five."
"Chicago enjoyed a productive weekend to kick off a 10-game homestand, taking two of three games from the Minnesota Twins to earn its first series win at Rate Field since July 28-30 against Philadelphia. It marked the 14th series victory for Chicago, compared with just eight last season. A core of rookies helped the White Sox score at least seven runs in each game vs. the Twins."
Kansas City stayed in the American League wild-card hunt by winning 10-8 and avoided a series sweep, keeping pace with Seattle three games ahead for the final wild-card spot. The Royals had a balanced offensive effort with every starter recording a hit and a run, building an early 6-1 lead before Detroit rallied. Vinnie Pasquantino and Maikel Garcia homered, and Pasquantino extended his extra-base hit streak to seven games. Chicago opened a 10-game homestand by taking two of three from Minnesota, driven by rookie contributions including Colson Montgomerys three-homer series and consistent run production.
