The White Sox spent the first three games at Kauffman Stadium a play or two away from earning hard-fought road wins against a playoff contender. Thursday’s finale did not follow that same pattern.

The Sox suffered their 11th straight loss at Kauffman Stadium, extending their franchise record. They're now 2-14 against the American League Central.

Kris Bubic scattered six hits over seven shutout innings and Bobby Witt Jr. went 4-for-5 with two doubles, two RBIs, two stolen bases and two runs as the Kansas City Royals completed a four-game sweep of the visiting Chicago White Sox with a 10-0 victory on Thursday.
