Last Meeting ( Sep 23, 2026 ) Chi. White Sox 4, Kansas City 5
Despite falling short in their latest performance against the Kansas City Royals, the Chicago White Sox remain in position to secure a postseason spot.
Looking to bounce back, the visiting White Sox again have a chance to clinch that playoff spot Thursday afternoon when they take on the Royals in the decisive contest of the three-game series.
Chicago (81-77) had won three straight before Kansas City responded with a 5-4 win on Wednesday. The White Sox overcame an early 4-0 deficit, but Kansas City's Maikel Garcia, who recorded only one hit in his previous six games, capped a three-hit, three-RBI night with his tiebreaking, run-scoring double in the seventh inning.
While that victory snapped a five-game skid for the last-place Royals (68-90), the White Sox seem destined to make the playoffs following three consecutive seasons with at least 100 lossesy. Chicago is one game behind first-place Cleveland in the American League Central, but owns a three-game lead over Texas for the final wild-card spot --- leaving its playoff magic number at one.
"(Clinching a postseason berth) is on everyone's mind," said White Sox pitcher Erick Fedde, who tossed 2 2/3 scoreless innings following Bryan Hudson's rough opener performance Wednesday.
"It's huge, it's the goal when you come in the year to get that ticket into the playoffs. ... Being (this) close is exciting."
Chicago's Braden Montgomery had three hits Wednesday and is 7-for-15 in the last four contests. Teammate Chase Meidroth, meanwhile, added two hits Wednesday and is batting .375 in the last eight games.
David Sandlin (2-2, 6.29 ERA) is slated to start Thursday for the White Sox. Despite giving up five runs and seven hits over four innings against Detroit on Friday, the rookie right-hander held Kansas City to one run on three hits over six innings on June 26.
Royals star Bobby Witt Jr, went 0-for-2 with a walk against Sandlin in June, but he's reached base in 20 consecutive games. Meanwhile, teammate Vinnie Pasquantino is batting .327 with 17 RBIs in his last 14 games, and 7-for-21 with eight RBIs in his last five contests against the White Sox.
"Vinnie has been on a good run," Royals manager Matt Quatraro said. "There's a lot to like about what he's done."
Scheduled starter Randy Dobnak (3-4, 3.08) has been one of the few bright spots for the last-place Royals since the team acquired him from Seattle in June. The right-hander, who debuted with Kansas City on July 2, had a 1.93 ERA through his first eight starts, but is 1-2 with a 5.91 ERA in four since.
On Friday, Dobnak lasted just 3 2/3 innings, allowing four runs, seven hits and two walks. His only appearances against the White Sox came in 2020, while with Minnesota, when he posted a 5.40 ERA while losing two starts.
Andrew Benintendi is batting .173 over his last 20 games, but 3-for-5 with two homers versus Dobnak.
