Key Storylines
Pitching matchup
Ryan Bergert has impressed with a 2.79 ERA. He ranks first in ERA among MLB rookies with at least 10 starts. His control has been solid with 56 strikeouts in 58 innings and a 1.09 WHIP. Chicago’s Aaron Civale has struggled with a 5.02 ERA and 1.38 WHIP. He has had a hard time at home as his ERA is up to 6.38 in home games. That pitching edge could be a huge boost for Kansas City.
Key Players
- Kansas City: The Royals were down 4-0 late in Tuesday’s game against the White Sox. But timely hitting from Michael Massey and Kyle Isbel helped them catch up and eventually win that game. Both of those players will be important for the Royals tonight also.
- Chicago: Lenyn Sosa leads the White Sox in home runs, RBI, and batting average. He drove in a run last night and will need to continue to make an impact offensively.
Recent team streaks
- The Royals have won two of their last three games coming into tonight.
- Chicago had a three-game winning streak snapped in their loss to the Royals last time out.

Final Thoughts
The Chicago White Sox hold the advantage both on the mound and at the plate going into this contest. This is baseball, which means that anything can happen on any given night.
