Gamethread: White Sox at Royals
The White Sox can move over .500 and just on the cusp of the playoff chase with a win/sweep over K.C. today. With Luis Robert again batting first, chances are good that things start fast with the offense once again.
Back at it with more #WhiteSox baseball! #ChangetheGame

After his four-hit night, Leury García is out, not due to managerial quirk or Sunday Lineup, but a personal loss. García is day-to-day and will remain with the club.
And the Royals:

Until game time, enjoy the fun video above, where we learn that Codi Heuer has no idea where his first career save baseball went.
Actor (final credit: murdered by Albert Einstein in "Carnage Hall"), musician (Ethnocentric Republicans), and Nerf hoops champion, Wiffleball aficionado and onetime bilingual kindergarten teacher, Brett Ballantini also writes about baseball, basketball and sometimes hockey, for the NBA, MLB, NHL, and Slam, Hoop, Sporting News, the Athletic, SB Nation and others. He was CSN Chicago’s Blackhawks beat writer when their 49-year Stanley Cup drought ended in 2009-10, and took over the White Sox beat after that. He currently is the editor-in-chief of South Side Hit Pen and beat writer for Inside the Rays. He also wrote a book about Ozzie Guillén but is running out of space, so follow him on Twitter @BrettBallantini and he'll probably tell you even more about himself than you ever wanted to know.
