The Chicago White Sox are riding high after a 6-5 victory over the Kansas City Royals last night, putting them in position to complete a three-game sweep tonight in the Windy City. At 21-21, the White Sox are surprise contenders in the American League Central, sitting just 1.5 games behind division-leading Cleveland. Colson Montgomery led the offensive charge with three hits, including his 11th home run of the season, and scored two runs. Tyler Davis earned his first win of the season in relief of starter Noah Schultz.

For the Royals (19-24), it's been a tough stretch. Starter Seth Lugo struggled again, allowing five runs in five innings to fall to 1-3 on the season. The Royals' ace has been anything but dominant lately, giving up fewer than four runs in just one of his last four starts. Bobby Witt Jr. provided a bright spot, cracking his seventh home run of the season—and his seventh since April 26—in the losing effort.

Kansas City will turn to Kris Bubic to try to snap their three-game losing streak, while the White Sox aim for their fifth straight win. Chicago sends Anthony Kay to the mound. After a rough end to April, Kay has been solid in May, allowing just two runs over his last two starts (10 innings). Bubic has also been effective lately, giving up just five runs on 12 hits with 18 strikeouts over his last 17.2 innings (three starts).
