KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 4 (UPI) -- Alberto Callaspo drove in three runs Saturday, propelling the Kansas City Royals to a 6-4 win over the Chicago White Sox.

His go-ahead, two-run single erased a 4-3 deficit with two outs in the bottom of the sixth inning.

Kansas City's Brayan Pena hit a pinch solo homer in the eighth.

Mitch Maier and Mark Teahen had one RBI apiece for the Royals, who snapped their four-game losing streak.

Winner Luke Hochevar (4-3) gave up four earned runs and nine hits in six innings. Closer Joakim Soria, the last of four pitchers, recorded his 11th save with a 1-2-3 ninth.

Chicago's Jermaine Dye hit a two-run, third-inning homer.

Gordon Beckham hit a solo shot in the sixth for the White Sox, who had won seven in a row.

The losing pitcher was starter Gavin Floyd (6-6).
