Royals 6, White Sox 3

CHICAGO — Eric Hosmer homered and drove in two runs, Lorenzo Cain had four hits and scored twice, and the Royals put themselves on the verge of a playoff spot. A Kansas City victory or a loss by the Mariners will send the Royals to the postseason for the first time since George Brett led them to a championship in 1985. Hosmer had three hits, including an RBI single in the first and a solo homer in the sixth.
