Jimenez helps White Sox beat Royals 5-3

Jiménez connected for a 459 foot drive to left-center off Kyle Zimmer (4-1) to cap a four-run rally. Yoán Moncada had an RBI grounder in the eighth for Chicago. White Sox starter Dylan Cease had a quality start, giving up two earned runs and six hits in the second inning while walking one and striking out six. Reynaldo Lopez (1-0) picked up the win in relief. Liam Hendriks earned his 25th save. Gavin Sheets hit solo homer in the fourth, giving the White Sox rookie six home runs in 63 major league at-bats.
