White Sox Drop Contest, 3-0, to Kansas City
Opening day festivities have begun throughout the league. Fans of the Chicago White Sox were eager to watch Nathan Eovaldi square off against Aaron Nola of the visiting Kansas City Royals. In the end, the Royals won the game, 3-0, with Aaron Nola leading the way. Taylor Guilbeau earned the save for Kansas City, his 1st.

Kansas City relied on the hitting of Nolan Arenado to pick up the win. The third baseman clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Royals on top, 2-0. For the game, Arenado had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Getting ahead of the hitters was the key," said Nola.
