CHICAGO, July 6 (UPI) -- Bruce Chen and two relievers combined on a five-hitter Wednesday in helping the Kansas City Royals to a 4-1 win over the Chicago White Sox.
Chen (5-2) gave up four hits -- all singles -- and walked three in a six-inning outing. Greg Holland surrendered one hit in two innings and Joakim Soria earned his 15th save by pitching the ninth for the Royals.
Edwin Jackson (5-7) was touched for four runs on eight hits and a walk. He struck out six.
Kansas City scored in four different innings. The Royals got a run in the first on a double play and went up 2-0 when Eric Hosmer led off the second with his eighth home run of the year.
A Jeff Francoeur RBI single in the fourth drove in Alex Gordon and made the score 3-0. Francoeur added a sacrifice fly in the sixth -- again driving in Gordon.
The White Sox opened the bottom of the sixth with three singles and, one out later, Adam Dunn walked to force in a run.
