Welcome to Robert's sport report. Today's game was the Kansas City Royals versus the Chicago White Sox. This game was packed with exciting moments throughout all 5 hours and 24 minutes! The best part of the 32,744 fans stayed through it all along with us. Sadly, after the 14th inning the White Sox were to take the lead and win the game.
The starting pitcher for the Royals was Chen who pitched 4 and 2/3 of the game. Chen gave up 6 runs on 5 singles, 1 double, and 3 home runs. Chen threw 5 strikeouts, 1 of them was looking. He also gave up 3 walks. Since Chen couldn't finish the 5th inning they had to bring in #40 Herrera, who finished the inning after giving up a double and getting a strikeout. In the 6th inning we saw number 50 pitch 2/3 of the 6th, giving up a walk and striking out one. To finish the 6th and pitch the 7th was #43 Crow. He only gave up a single and got one strikeout. In the top of the 8th #56 Howard pitched and had a clean inning, gaining one strikeout. To the top of the 9th the Royals brought in their big closer to try to keep their 7-6 lead.
