KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Interstat) — The Kansas City Royals will look to complete a series victory and continue their recent pitching dominance over the Chicago White Sox when the teams conclude a four-game set Sunday at Kauffman Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for the afternoon, though forecasts call for rain and a temperature of 71 degrees. The Royals (7-8) have taken the last two games by identical 2-0 scores, with their starters allowing a combined four hits over 15 innings. Michael Wacha was brilliant in Saturday’s win, tossing eight scoreless innings with seven strikeouts. He will look to continue that form against a White Sox lineup that has mustered just two runs in the first three games of this series. Chicago (5-10) will counter with left-hander Noah Cameron (1-0), who makes his first career start against the Royals. He will need to solve a Kansas City offense that has been just timely enough, led by Maikel Garcia, whose solo homer provided insurance in Saturday’s victory. A player to watch for the White Sox is right-hander Erick Fedde, who took the hard-luck loss Saturday despite a quality start, allowing one run over five innings. It continued a trend of solid but unsupported outings for Fedde this season. The Royals have won five of their last seven to climb near .500, while the White Sox have lost seven of their last nine. According to National Statistical’s game simulator, Kansas City is projected for a 4-3 victory. Following the series, the White Sox head home to host Tampa Bay, while the Royals open a road trip in Detroit.
