Kansas City, MO (My Sportsbook) - Alberto Callaspo went 2-for-3 and hit the go-ahead two-run single in the sixth inning, as the Kansas City Royals came back to top the White Sox, 6-4, and snap Chicago's seven-game win streak.

Callaspo tripled, walked and finished with three total runs batted in for Kansas City, which had dropped the first two contests of this four-game set, in addition to its last four games overall. Brayan Pena hit a solo homer for the Royals.

Kansas City starter Luke Hochevar (4-3) took the win, though he gave up four runs on nine hits and two walks in six innings. He also struck out three. Joakim Soria notched his 11th save of the season with a perfect ninth.

Chicago's Gavin Floyd (6-6) did not allow a hit through four innings, but fell apart over the remainder of his 5 1/3-inning start. Floyd allowed five runs on four hits and three walks, with four strikeouts.

Jermaine Dye had a two-run homer and Gordon Beckham belted a solo shot for the White Sox, who hadn't dropped a game since a 5-4 loss to the Cubs on June 26.

Trailing, 4-2, entering the bottom of the sixth, the Royals got a rally started with a leadoff single from Willie Bloomquist. He stole second before Billy Butler walked, and Jose Guillen's fielder's choice left runners on the corners.

Mark Teahen's single then plated Bloomquist and chased Floyd from the game, as Chicago brought in Matt Thornton. Pinch-hitter Pena grounded out, but the play advanced the runners for Callaspo, whose single to right got Guillen and Teahen home for a 5-4 KC lead.

After Juan Cruz and John Bale each pitched a perfect inning of relief for Kansas City, Pena's solo homer in the eighth gave the Royals a two-run cushion. Soria worked a 1-2-3 ninth to close the game.

Dewayne Wise's RBI single in the second got the White Sox on the scoreboard, and Dye's two-run shot in the third made it a 3-0 game.

Callaspo's RBI triple and Mitch Maier's sacrifice fly in the fifth got a pair of runs back for the Royals, but Beckham homered in the top of the sixth.
