The Chicago White Sox defeated the Kansas City Royals, 7-4, at Guaranteed Rate Field. Chicago designated hitter J.D. Martinez was named player of the game for his superb performance. He was 4 for 5 with a double and 3 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. The winner was Rubby De La Rosa, who threw 76 pitches over 5 innings. The right-hander was charged with 2 runs on 5 hits. Chicago is now riding a 3-game win streak.

Though it wasn't a flawless game -- few are -- the fans who filled the stands at Guaranteed Rate Field seemed to enjoy watching the American League action.

"We were able to get some things going offensively," said Martinez.
