KANSAS CITY, Mo. — – Michael Wacha<\/a> struck out seven while pitching four-hit ball through eight innings, Maikel Garcia<\/a> homered and the Kansas City Royals<\/a> beat the White Sox 2-0 on Saturday as Chicago’s scoreless streak reached 20 innings.<\/p>\n

Garcia opened the game with a leadoff homer and the Royals added another run in the eighth inning when Garcia doubled and scored on a sacrifice fly by Vinnie Pasquantino<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Wacha (2-0) walked one before giving way to Lucas Erceg<\/a>, who worked a 1-2-3 ninth for his fifth save of the season.<\/p>\n

Erick Fedde<\/a> (0-3) took the loss after allowing one run on three hits in five innings for Chicago, which last scored in the seventh inning of a 2-0 win over Kansas City on Thursday and lost 2-0 on Friday.<\/p>\n

Chicago threatened in the first inning when Andrew Benintendi<\/a> doubled with two outs before Colson Montgomery<\/a> flew out to end the inning.<\/p>\n

The White Sox also put a runner in scoring position in the seventh when Lenyn Sosa<\/a> doubled, but no Chicago baserunner advanced past second after the first inning.<\/p>\n

Chicago’s bullpen kept the game close. Sean Newcomb<\/a> pitched two scoreless innings in relief of Fedde before Jordan Hicks<\/a> worked the eighth.<\/p>\n

White Sox third baseman Tanner Murray<\/a> picked up his first MLB hit with a single in the fifth inning.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

LHP Noah Cameron<\/a> (1-0, 1.69 ERA) takes the mound for Kansas City. The White Sox have not named a starter for Sunday’s series finale.<\/p>\n
