Rundown:

• [Intro] The Chicago White Sox losing streak at Kauffman Stadium continues as they were swept in a four-game series. Big reason is the offense only scored four runs. Where did the hitting go from the previous series against Houston? What's with the roster management picking Nick Maton to replace the injured Andrew Benintendi?
• [12:31] Andrew Vaughn committed an almost identical TOOTBLAN against the Royals as he did in Sacramento a couple of weeks ago. How do we feel about the contact play, and should it even be applied for a runner like Vaughn?

• [32:37] Former All-Star for the White Sox, Chet Lemon, passed away at the age of 70
• [34:09] There's a new Pope, and he's a White Sox fan.
