The Chicago White Sox pulled out a 2-1 win on Wednesday afternoon to split their doubleheader with the Kansas City Royals. The victory snapped the South Siders’ six-game losing streak overall and their six-game winless skid against the Royals.
Dominic Fletcher and Gavin Sheets delivered the offense for the Pale Hose, while Erick Fedde put together his best start of the season.
Fedde allowed only three hits, two of which were infield singles, in his 5.2 innings and earned his first win since joining the White Sox. He issued three walks and fanned five, throwing 55 strikes out of 94 pitches. Tanner Banks relieved him and recorded the final out of the sixth, stranding two runners on base.
The White Sox’ scuffling first baseman Andrew Vaughn led off the fourth inning with a double against Michael Wacha. After Eloy Jimenez’s one-out walk, Dominic Fletcher delivered a single to right to score Vaughn and break the scoreless tie.
