CHICAGO—
It took Luis Mendoza a long time to return to the majors and he's making a good case for staying there.Mendoza pitched into the eighth inning for his second
consecutive victory and Jarrod Dyson hit a two-run double to lift
the Kansas City Royals over the Chicago White Sox 2-1 on Sunday.
"That was their `A' lineup in there," Royals manager Ned Yost
said. "He really did a great job.
"He does a real good job of keeping hitters uncomfortable
because they don't know what to look for. He's come a long way."
Chicago lost for the 11th time in 15 games and with its 82nd
defeat ensured the third losing record in manager Ozzie Guillen's
eight-year tenure.
"I didn't expect anything less. It was a losing team when I got
the 'X' next to me," Guillen said. "I'm not here for stats, I'm
here to win divisions."
