Olivo homers to lift KC past White Sox 6-3

FROM ASSOCIATED PRESS — Sun, 5 Jul 2009 00:01 CST

Alberto Callaspo got his fourth RBI in two days and Miguel Olivo hit a two-run homer to help the Kansas City Royals beat the White Sox 6-3 on Sunday for a split of their four-game series. Callaspo, who had three RBIs in a 6-4 win on Saturday, also cost KC a run with the kind of shaky defense which has led to his collecting 10 errors at second base this year. But Brian Bannister (6-6) held Chicago to five hits and two runs through six innings and snapped a personal four-game losing streak to the White Sox.

Cubs left-hander Ted Lilly and White Sox lefty Mark Buehrle were the only representatives for their respective teams announced among the 32 players on each league's 33-man roster for the 2009 All-Star Game that will be played July 14 at Busch Stadium in St. Louis.

Sox pull disappearing act

It wasn't the kind of game the White Sox envisioned Saturday, building a lead against the scuffling Kansas City Royals before it inexplicably disappeared within two innings. But considering the season-high seven-game winning streak the Sox had been on, they weren't going to be sitting at their lockers, heads down and moping after the 6-4 loss. Especially not with the MLB Network replaying a 1985 Sox-Yankees game with Ozzie Guillen, Greg Walker and Harold Baines all playing in it.
