Royals Suffer Worst Loss in Franchise History

The Kansas City Royals just endured the worst defeat in franchise history, losing 22-1 to the Chicago White Sox in a game that turned into a 21-run massacre by the third inning. The Sox exploded with 23 hits and five homers, led by Miguel Vargas and Jacob Gonzalez’s three-run blasts, while the Royals managed just four hits and one run — courtesy of a bases-loaded walk and a double play. Even position player Tyler Tolbert got in on the action, pitching an inning and keeping the Sox scoreless — which is somehow both bizarre and oddly heroic. This crushing loss follows a brief winning streak against Tampa Bay and underscores the Royals’ steep slide compared to the division-leading White Sox. Though not the biggest blowout ever (that’s still 1897), this night will be remembered as one of the most devastating in Royals history.
