The Rundown:
- Today: James Shields takes the mound as the White Sox square off with the Royals for three games.
- Down in the Minors: Michael Kopech struck out nine in six innings, Steele Walker had a multi-hit game, and Nick Madrigal struck out.
- Around MLB: The New York Mets put up 24 runs against Philadelphia, Rockies shock the Braves late, and Nationals get a much-needed win over the Cardinals.
