The Chicago White Sox will try to end their latest road skid when they face the Royals in Kansas City in Game 3 of a four-game series today at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, MO. Game time is scheduled for 7:40 p.m. EST.

With yesterday’s 4-3 loss to the Royals, Chicago has lost three in a row on the road and four of their last five away games (but went 3-3 during a recent homestand). They had a 3-2 lead going into the bottom of the ninth, but reliever Cam Booser gave up three hits, a walk, and a pair of runs (one earned) to lose the game. Seth Lugo helped set the stage for the Royals, going 6 2/3 innings and allowing one earned run (two scored) while striking out three. Chicago will give the ball to Jonathan Cannon to start the day. Cannon is 2-3 in seven outings with a 4.26 ERA. Both wins came in his last two starts. Kansas City is scheduled to start Michael Wacha on the mound. The righty is 1-4 in seven starts with a 3.52 ERA. He took the loss in his last outing, vs. Baltimore, after throwing 6 1/3 innings and giving up seven hits, a walk, and three runs while striking out three.
