Wed May 07 02:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Royals Continue Hot Streak, Shut Out White Sox 3-0
**KANSAS CITY, MO. –** The Kansas City Royals extended their winning streak to three games and improved their record to 20-16 with a dominant 3-0 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Monday night. Cole Ragans delivered a stellar performance on the mound, striking out 11 batters over five innings while allowing only three hits. Bobby Witt Jr. fueled the Royals’ offense, scoring the first run and driving in the second, adding to his impressive 11 stolen bases this season.
Witt’s contributions were key to the Royals’ victory. He led off the fourth with a single, stole second, advanced to third on a wild pitch, and scored on a single by Maikel Garcia. In the fifth, Witt doubled, driving in two more runs. The Royals’ offense, which recently showcased its power hitting with a club-record seven home runs in a single game, displayed a balanced approach in Monday’s win.
Ragans, overcoming a recent groin strain, continued his impressive strikeout dominance, showcasing his excellent form. Four relievers, including Carlos Estévez who secured his 10th save with a one-hit ninth inning, effectively closed out the game for Kansas City. Chicago’s rookie Shane Smith took the loss, allowing two runs in five innings.
The Royals’ seven-game homestand continues Tuesday with Seth Lugo taking the mound for Kansas City against the White Sox’s Sean Burke.
