KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) \u2014 Tanner Murray hit his first major league home run, Colson Montgomery also connected and the Chicago White Sox outlasted the Kansas City Royals 6-5 on Sunday after the first pitch was pushed back 3 hours because of rain.<\/p>\n
Dustin Harris led off the seventh inning with a pinch-hit double and scored the tiebreaking run for the White Sox on a wild pitch by John Schreiber (0-2).<\/p>\n
Chicago equaled a club record by using nine pitchers in a nine-inning game. That mark was set against Cleveland on Sept. 14, 1997. <\/p>\n
The last four White Sox relievers \u2014 Bryan Hudson, Jordan Leasure (1-0), Lucas Sims and Seranthony Dom\u00ednguez \u2014 combined for six strikeouts in 4 1\/3 hitless innings. Dom\u00ednguez got three outs for his third save.<\/p>\n
Following the long delay, Murray launched a two-run homer off starter Noah Cameron in the second to give the White Sox a 2-0 lead. That snapped a Chicago scoreless streak that lasted 21 2\/3 innings.<\/p>\n
It was the second career hit for the 26-year-old Murray, who debuted in the majors April 5. <\/p>\n
Kansas City erased the deficit by drawing four walks and scoring three runs in the third. Montgomery put the White Sox back in front 4-3 with his two-run homer in the fourth, but the Royals took a 5-4 lead in the bottom half on RBI singles by Isaac Collins and Bobby Witt Jr.<\/p>\n
Cameron was removed after loading the bases with one out in the sixth. Nick Mears retired Montgomery on a foul popup, but then walked pinch-hitter Andrew Benintendi to force in the tying run.<\/p>\n
Up next<\/p>\n
LHP Noah Schultz makes his major league debut Tuesday for the White Sox when they host LHP Shane McClanahan (0-1, 4.15 ERA) and the Tampa Bay Rays.<\/p>\n
LHP Cole Ragans (0-3, 5.91 ERA) faces LHP Framber Valdez (1-1, 4.76) and the Detroit Tigers when the Royals begin a six-game trip Tuesday.<\/p>\n
