KANSAS CITY – The streak is over.
No, this is not a recreation of "All My Children's" Susan Lucci winning an Outstanding Lead Actress Award in the 1999 Daytime Emmys after the icon lost 18 straight nominations. It’s about the White Sox claiming victory at Kauffman Stadium on Thursday night with a 2-0 decision.
That shutout ended a 14-game White Sox losing streak at Kauffman, dating back to April 4, 2024, which was tied for the longest streak in franchise history vs. any single road opponent (STATS). The White Sox also lost 14 in a row at the Twins from April 11, 2023 - April 23, 2025.
This victory came courtesy of Anthony Kay, who struck out six, walked two and yielded three hits as he tied his career-high at 5 2/3 innings. Grant Taylor, Jordan Leasure and Seranthony Domínguez finished off the win.
Seth Lugo allowed two runs, of which one was earned, over 6 1/3 innings, but it was enough offense for the White Sox. Colson Montgomery doubled home Munetaka Murakami for the game’s first run in the fourth and Luisangel Acuña added a sacrifice fly in the seventh in a frame extended by first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino’s throwing error.
Pasquantino had a chance to put the Royals in control in the seventh against Taylor, with runners on first and second and two outs. But his hard-hit grounder was grabbed by second baseman Chase Meidroth, who knocked the ball away, but recovered to nail Pasquantino at first by a few step
