The Royals, who collected only five hits off Francisco Barrios, were stopped on their seven-game winning streak by the White Sox, 5-1. Bill Nahorodny hit a double and homer and drove in two runs in support of Barrios, who returned to the starting rotation after a stint in the bullpen. [The Sporting News]
