Royals Edge White Sox, 7-6

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Kendrys Morales and Salvador Perez each drove in two runs and the Kansas City Royals overcame Jose Abreu's two home runs to beat the Chicago White Sox, 7-6, on Saturday night.

Perez, who had been in a 6-for-32 skid, had a two-out single in the three-run fourth. Morales and Perez picked up back-to-back run-producing doubles with two out in a four-run fifth.

White Sox right-hander Jeff Samardzija (8-6) failed to make it out of the fifth, giving up seven runs on six hits.

Abreu homered to lead off the fourth and sixth innings.

Jeremy Guthrie (8-7) picked up the victory, although he gave up six runs on 10 hits, including both of Abreu's homers, in 5 2/3 innings.
