The Chicago White Sox defeated the Kansas City Royals 6-5 on Tuesday, completing a big comeback with a 5-run fifth inning to secure their third consecutive victory and move back to .500. While Japanese slugger Mune’ura was unable to extend his record of hitting a home run in the first game of a series to nine consecutive series, the White Sox won in dramatic fashion. Mune’ura previously set a major league record by homering in the opener of eight straight series, but went silent in this one. Nevertheless, the team’s five-run outburst in the fifth turned the game around, putting them on the cusp of returning to a .500 winning percentage.
