White Sox blast Royals 22-1 in second-biggest win ever
A 21-run differential at home turns a routine game into a franchise landmark and a pitching clinic turned batting practice session.
The Chicago White Sox didn’t just beat the Kansas City Royals—they erased them, 22-1, in a historic rout that stands as the second-largest victory in franchise annals. At Rate Field, the White Sox turned a scheduled game into a statistical anomaly, scoring in every inning but the eighth and leaving the Royals with a 21-run differential that ranks among the most lopsided outcomes in modern baseball. 2 innings, but the White Sox offense erased any doubt before the first pitch was retired in the dugout.
