Minus injured Anderson, Chisox fall to Pratto, KC in Game 1

Anderson is expected to miss six weeks with a tear in the middle finger of his left hand. He was put on the 10-day injured list betwen games of the twinbill.

Anderson was injured on a check swing during his last at-bat on Saturday night at Texas. He will have surgery on Thursday in Chicago.

“Huge blow. He’s one of our All-Stars and one of our leaders,” losing pitcher Lance Lynn said.

Anderson, who is hitting .301 for the playoff-contending White Sox, didn't play while finishing up a two-game suspension for making contact with an umpire.

Pratto homered, doubled and singled. He began the day batting .186 (11 for 59) this season in 19 games. His third homer put the Royals ahead 4-1 in the sixth.

Brady Singer (5-4) allowed one run on five hits in 7 1/3 innings. He struck out six without walking anyone.

Jose Cuas picked up his first career save.

Lynn (2-5) allowed two-run homers by Pratto and Vinnie Pasquantino in six innings.

Josh Harrison hit a solo homer in the Chicago third. Pasquantino homered in the bottom half.

The White Sox threatened in the sixth, getting two-out singles by Luis Robert and Eloy Jimenez. But Singer got Jose Abreu to line out to end the threat.

Yoan Moncada had a sacrifice fly in the ninth for the White Sox.
