The Royals’ offense finally broke out of a funk after being shut out last night and overcame a four-run deficit to win the second game of the series 5-4 over the White Sox.

Michael Lorenzen got the start for the Royals, his third since coming off the Injured List. He gave up a solo home run to Colson Montgomery, the 14th in 43 games for the rookie. Lorenzen tossed goose eggs in the next three innings, helped by a couple of double plays. But he ran into trouble in the sixth, giving up singles to Brooks Baldwin and Mike Tauchman. He walked Miguel Vargas to load the bases, then a run-scoring single by Kyle Teel to make it 2-0. Matt Quatraro finally pulled him for John Schreiber, who gave up another run on a single to Lenyn Sosa. Vargas scored on a wild pitch to make it 4-0 Chicago.
